Have you had Jefferson Ocean? it's got the saltiness from putting the barrels to age on a cargo ship. I grabbed one of the first bottles before it sky rocketted in price, got it for like $60 if I can remember, now its close to $90.

Also, I got to do a tasting of JW red, blue and black one day at a bar I frequented. I couldn't really tell to differences or which on was the most expensive. If I'm spending that much on any whiskey, I'd rather have a small batch or single barrel than a mixed barrel any day. I think JW is just a name thing that everyone knows.
