Following Jefferson's 25th Anniversary, our new Marian McLain expression is a tribute to our founder's 8th generation grandmother.

“In 1799, Marian McLain was arrested for distilling and selling whiskey without paying taxes. She didn't do it to rebel, but as a war-widowed mother, she had to find a way to provide for her children. Marian McLain is my eighth-generation grandmother and the inspiration for Jefferson's Bourbon. Now, on our 25th anniversary, my father and I are honored to share Marian's spirit through this exceptionally bold and balanced blend. While we're always searching for more details of her life, we do know that Marian's arrest made her one of the first women on record for selling whiskey in America. It's her spirit and bravery that inspired me and my father to create Jefferson's Bourbon.” - Trey Zoeller, Founder

This specialty bottling of Jefferson's Bourbon pays tribute to Marian McLain's determination and bravery with a blend of five distinct bourbons. Each bourbon is an homage to her five children and represent a pillar of Marian's nature that, like her, blend to create a spirit of unparalleled character and taste. Together, these bourbons create a complex yet balanced blend with a full-bodied mouthfeel. Enjoy notes of brown sugar and banana up front, followed by molasses and rich spice. Married in freshly drained barrels of Jefferson's Ocean Aged At Sea ®, this blend has a long finish and savory black cherry finish.
