Joseph Magnus Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Sherry and Cognac Casks

Joseph Magnus Bourbon is a highly-awarded, small-batch spirit known for its unique triple-cask finishing, blending bourbons aged in Oloroso Sherry, Pedro Ximénez Sherry, and Cognac casks for deep, complex flavors like vanilla, dark fruits, citrus, chocolate, and spice, offering a rich, smooth, and luxurious experience reminiscent of pre-Prohibition recipes. 

Key Characteristics:

• Cask Finishing: The defining feature is its finishing in three types of casks (Oloroso, PX Sherry, Cognac) after initial aging in white oak, a technique inspired by historical Magnus recipes.

• Flavor Profile: Expect notes of orange, caramel, vanilla, dark chocolate, brown sugar, dried fruits (like cherries), and baking spices, with a silky, warm finish.

• Aging: Often uses a blend of bourbons, including older ones (around 10-12 years old), creating depth.

• Source: The bourbon is sourced from MGP (Midwest Grain Products) in Indiana.

• Awards: A multiple award-winner, recognized at competitions like the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. 

Tasting Experience:

• Appearance: Deep, dark brown, often described as oily and viscous.

• Nose: Rich aromas of vanilla, caramel, stewed fruits, and citrus.

• Palate: Starts with chocolate, caramel, orange, clove, and oak, building to sweet cherry notes.
