Jefferson's bourbon launches barrel-finished Manhattan and Groth Reserve mark in UK

Published:  24 September, 2015

A bottled Manhattan cocktail made by Jefferson's bourbon has been given a UK release through the brand's distributor Cellar Trends.

Jefferson's The Manhattan Barrel Finished Cocktail is bottled at 34% abv and has an rrp of £50.

The blend of bourbon, dry and sweet vermouth and barrel-aged spiced cherry bitters was created by Jefferson's founder Trey Zoeller and David Granger, editor-in-chief of Esquire magazine in the US.

Cellar Trends is also launching Jefferson's Reserve Groth Reserve Cask Finish, a limited edition bourbon which has an extra nine months ageing in ex-Cabernet Sauvignon barrels from Napa Valley's Groth Vineyards.

It will have an rrp of £99.

The launches coincide with a competition for UK bartenders to create an original Jefferson's barrel-aged cocktail.

Katie Warren, group marketing manager at Cellar Trends added: "The launch of the two new limited editions will highlight Jefferson's skill as one of the most innovative bourbon blenders.

"They deliver surprising new styles which have a creative edge in their production and will intrigue discerning drinkers."

Further launches are planned for 2016.
