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.
• Finish: Long, silky, and warming, with lingering spice and fruit.
