Jeffersons Very Small Batch Bourbon carries no age statement and inhabits most stores shelves around the $28 mark - extremely hotly contested real estate many similarly priced releases. We don't know who makes it, but it's bottled at 41.15% ABV.
Jefferson’s Very Small Batch is cheap, light, smooth, and manages to retain a decent character. If you’re looking for something new to try in the low-mid $20s this would definitely fit the bill.
Extremely youthful. It’ll get there, but it’s a work in progress. Mildly dismaying they couldn’t blend away the youth, but when using stock that is clearly this young, those less desirable youthful notes will always be present.

House Review
Nose:
Young, corn forward. Vanilla bean, light caramel, some baking spice. A bit of grain.
Taste:
Thin on the palate, with signs of obvious youth. No real heat, but the green wood notes and musty grain makes it clear that not only is this a very small batch - it’s also a very young one.
Finish:
Short, musty, grass and hay.
Overall:
Extremely youthful. It’ll get there, but it’s a work in progress. Mildly dismaying they couldn’t blend away the youth, but when using stock that is clearly this young, those less desirable youthful notes will always be present.
