One of Jefferson’s favorite French wines, was Château Suduiraut, which he called “President du Roy,” an exceptional Sauternes. The sweetness of the Château Suduiraut wine and the toasted staves of the French oak wine casks would complement Jefferson Reserve’s well-aged, complex Kentucky Straight Bourbon whiskey. After hand selecting forty Suduiraut barrels, refilling them and extra aging them in the proprietary “hot box” environment, a one-of-a-kind bourbon was created.
