Trey Zoeller, Co-Founder of Jefferson’s Bourbon, Looks Back In Time

Since 1997, Trey Zoeller has been bottling Jefferson’s Bourbon with the help of his father, Chet, a published bourbon historian. For the Zoellers, bourbon is deep-rooted in their family history — more than 200 years ago, his great-grandmother was arrested for the production and sales of spirituous liquors, becoming the first woman to be documented in the American whiskey trade.

Fast forward, and Zoeller is protecting a part of American history that is often misunderstood and until only recently, underappreciated.
