Crafting Innovative Bourbon Since 1997
Founded in 1997, Jefferson’s is the brainchild of Trey Zoeller and his father Chet, a famed bourbon historian. They continued a family whiskey tradition that goes back to Trey’s 8th generation grandmother who was arrested in 1799 for the “production and sales of spirituous liquors.”
Trey’s curious and experimental mindset has allowed him to push the boundaries of bourbon whiskey, upholding tradition while still searching for new possibilities.
