A Unique Fusion: Jefferson’s® Bourbon Savours the Heat and Humidity of Singapore
A bourbon with an intoxicating twist, Jefferson’s® Bourbon has taken inspiration from the equatorial climate of Singapore, enveloping its rich and unique flavors within a bottle. This captivating fusion captures the essence of this vibrant country, making it a standout among traditional, more common bourbon experiences.
The Magic of Singaporean Weather on Bourbon
For those yet to experience it, Singapore is a tropical haven sitting pretty directly on the equator. It is renowned for its intense sun, high humidity all year round, and a climate that never cools. This consistent heat possesses transformative properties, particularly when it comes to aging bourbon.
Bourbon, like any other whiskey, is a product of its environment. The aging process heavily depends on climate factors, including temperature and humidity. The more heat, the more rapid the aging. By maturing bourbon in a cash in Singapore’s persistently tropical climate, Jefferson’s Bourbon has created an experience that turns typical bourbon knowledge on its head.
Inflation of the Angel’s Share
What is the Angel’s Share?
In bourbon production, the “Angel’s Share” refers to the percentage of bourbon that evaporates during maturation in casks, giving off a divine aroma to the otherwise dreary warehouse air. But in Singapore’s climate, this evaporation rate is considerably higher, resulting in an inflation of the ‘Angel’s Share’.
How Singapore’s Climate Accelerates Evaporation Rate?
Due to the high temperatures and humidity, water and alcohol evaporate more quickly from the bourbon cask, which in turn concentrates the remaining spirit and imparts bolder and more complex flavors. This intense ‘Angel’s Share’ gives Jefferson’s bourbon a unique character and a depth of flavor that is unparalleled.
Jefferson’s Vision
Jefferson’s® Bourbon has always aimed to push the boundaries of traditional bourbon distillation and maturation. By choosing Singapore as the location to age their concoction, they have bravely moved away from home, from the standard settings in Kentucky. The result is a bourbon that not only stands out for its taste, but also for the story it tells.
Taste of Jefferson’s® Bourbon
The fusion of Jefferson’s® Bourbon with Singapore’s climate delivers an experience unlike any other. It presents a characteristically smooth mouthfeel, with layered flavors of sweet caramel, ripe figs, dark chocolate with a hint of tropical fruits. While the oak provides a customary vanilla and smoke, the tropical aging imparts an added level of spice and depth, creating a balanced, pleasantly complex bourbon.
Conclusion
Jefferson’s® Bourbon encapsulates the essence of Singapore’s tropical landscape in a bottle, offering bourbon enthusiasts a unique spin on the traditional spirit. With its potent flavors and distinct aging process, the heat-and-humidity-infused bourbon is more than a drink—it’s an experience of its own. Here’s to breaking norms and to the joy of new discoveries, one sip of bourbon at a time.
