Jefferson's Reserve Marks America 250 with Founder's Reserve 20- Year-Old

Jefferson’s Bourbon is honoring America’s 250th anniversary with the release of Founder’s Reserve 20-Year-Old, one of the rarest expressions in the brand’s history. Limited to just 250 individually numbered and signed bottles, the ultra-exclusive Kentucky Straight Bourbon was aged for two decades and finished in a French Bordeaux wine cask, nodding to Thomas Jefferson’s historic ties to France and the brand’s spirit of exploration. 

Bottled at cask strength, 94 proof / 47% ABV, the release offers layers of dark fruit, dried oak, and rich complexity, with the Bordeaux finish softening the long finish. SRP: $499.99.

“We’re proud to raise a glass to America’s 250th anniversary with this Founder’s Reserve release, inspired by our namesake Thomas Jefferson and the enduring alliance between the United States and France. To honor that historic partnership, we selected a rare 20-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon and finished it in a French Bordeaux wine cask, bringing together two great traditions in one remarkable whiskey. The result is a beautifully balanced, elegant spirit that celebrates craftsmanship, innovation, and the shared history that helped shape our nation,” says Trey Zoeller, Founder and visionary behind Jefferson’s Bourbon.
