Trey Zoeller - 8th Generation Master Blender and Founder of Jefferson’s Bourbon
Four brand facts/bullets:
- Jefferson’s pushes the boundaries of the definition of bourbon without bastardizing it, while always tipping our hat to tradition.

- We do most of our innovations with collaborators. i.e. Chris Fischer -Ocean. Cyril Chappellet-Pritchard Hill. Chef Ed Lee- Chef’s Collaboration.
- Transform corn get bourbon, transform bourbon get Jefferson’s.
