Each sip reveals a harmonious fusion of sweetness and spice, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate a refined cocktail experience.

History
Jefferson's The Manhattan Barrel Finished Cocktail was developed by Jefferson’s founder Trey Zoeller in partnership with David Granger, Editor-in-Chief of Esquire. The pair spent two years and dozens of attempts honing in on the perfect recipe, which they ultimately found by mixing Jefferson’s Bourbon, dry and sweet vermouth, and barrel-aged spiced cherry bitters. The exact bourbon used is six years old — it started at 125 proof and was refined to 82.3 proof — and once mixed with the vermouth and bitters, the resulting liquid is aged for an additional 90 days in oak barrels before being bottled at 68 proof. This meticulous crafting process not only enhances the flavors but also contributes to a rich and complex profile that pays homage to the classic Manhattan while embodying Jefferson's innovative spirit.
