Cyrus Noble Bourbon Whiskey
Cyrus Noble Bourbon Whiskey is a 750mL Kentucky bourbon bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof) for Haas Brothers of San Francisco, carrying one of the West's oldest spirits names — a brand that first appeared in 1871. Per the brand's own booklet, it is made from a mash of 78% corn, 10% rye and 12% malted barley, aged five years in ISC char #3 barrels, and bottled in small batches: a rich, velvety bourbon of caramel, toasted hazelnut and buttery toffee over soft oak and mellow spice.

An 1871 Name, a Kentucky Bourbon
The brand first appeared in San Francisco in 1871 through Ernest Lilienthal's Lilienthal & Co., named for Cyrus Noble — superintendent of the Freiberg & Workum distillery in Lynchburg, Ohio — and it rode the city's saloon era to national fame before Prohibition. The trademark was sold to San Francisco's Haas Brothers in 1934, and with that sale the whiskey's production relocated to Kentucky, where today's bottling is still distilled for the house. The smoothness that defined the original recipe's success remains the brief. Find it on the Cyrus Noble vendor page and among the wider shelf in our bourbon whiskey collection.
Tasting Notes
The brand describes a rich and velvety palate of caramel, toasted hazelnut and buttery toffee, with soft oak, nutty depth and mellow spice through the finish — a sweeter, dessert-leaning bourbon profile.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on a single large cube; the toffee-and-hazelnut register also suits it to a Manhattan, where its sweetness meets the vermouth halfway. More small-batch bourbons are in our whisky collection.
