Castle Brands has expanded its bourbon portfolio by introducing Jefferson’s Presidential Select 16 Year Old into the US market.

This Kentucky bourbon is aged in both new and old casks, and is produced in small batches.

Similar to several other products in Jefferson’s portfolio, the Presidential Select 16 Year Old is reported to have undergone a unique ageing process.

The whiskey is reported to have matured for 11 years in new American Oak casks and a further five years in fresh casks to offer a depth of flavour and complexity.
