I said goodbye to this one tonight. While I enjoyed the bottle, I honestly didn’t find it any better than most of the Russell‘s Reserve Private Select’s that I’ve had. This is one I probably will not buy again, considering the price tag compared to the private barrels.

Who, that’s interesting. So it seems you’d be content with saving the money and going with a few bottles of the select. 
 

I came to the same conclusion with Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked. I could buy no less than 2 store pick of the double oaked and still have money left over

Any details about that Jefferson's?

I had nearly forgotten that I still had it; was in the back of the bunker for a long time. It was really quite flavorful, more than I had recalled.

 

When it was released, it was the focus of a somewhat hokey marketing effort, thus the "aged in Stitzel-Weller Barrels" label.

If I recall correctly, this was older barrels of Stitzler weller juice that Seagrams bought to mix in their Seagrams seven back in the 80’s.  It was “found” in a warehouse that Jefferson’s bought and they marketed very carefully to not cross any legal lines.  

It was great sourced juice and gave a jump start to Jefferson’s early on.  

Enjoy and Cheers

True, that story sounds familiar;  seems like I've read or heard that somewhere.

 

With 20/20 hindsight now, it's amazing to think how much stellar whiskey must have been lost as blends into Seagram's Seven.
