Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend Bourbon Batch 470
Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend Bourbon Batch 470 is one numbered bottling in Jos. A. Magnus & Co.'s ongoing limited series, built for a single ritual: a fine cigar. It layers award-winning Joseph Magnus Bourbon with 11- and 18-year-old whiskeys, then finishes the blend in Armagnac, sherry, and cognac casks — bottled at 100.7 proof (50.35% ABV) in a 750mL bottle. Bold, rich, and faintly smoky-sweet, it is blended and finished under master blender Nancy Fraley in Holland, Michigan, from a base of mature American bourbon. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Blended for the Humidor Hour
The Cigar Blend is the house's flagship bourbon taken further: the award-winning Magnus Bourbon foundation, already triple-cask finished in Oloroso sherry, Pedro Ximénez sherry, and cognac, gets layered with two decades of aged whiskey stock for the weight to stand up to a premium cigar. Batch 470 is the next numbered chapter in a series where each batch is its own event. See more from Joseph Magnus, explore bourbon whiskey, and shop the full whiskey shelf at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Bold, rich aromas of tobacco, spice, leather, vanilla, blanched almonds, and toffee; the Armagnac finish lends fig, prune, and dried apricot; the palate carries dark fruit, vanilla, and caramel against baking spice and oak; long, warm, faintly smoky-sweet finish (per the brand's Cigar Blend profile).
How to Enjoy
Neat in a snifter alongside a medium-to-full-bodied cigar — the pairing it was designed for. A few drops of still water open the dried-fruit layers further. Save it for after dinner.
