Three Finishing Casks, One Bourbon
Where Murray Hill Club is the blender's marriage, the flagship Joseph Magnus Bourbon is the finisher's showcase: straight bourbon — sourced Indiana whiskey the brand has always been open about — is rested in sequence in sherry and Cognac wood under Master Blender Nancy Fraley's direction. The Oloroso brings nut and spice, the Pedro Ximénez dark stone fruit, the Cognac polish. Explore the brand on the Joseph Magnus vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Per the producer: rich, deep notes of vanilla, citrus, dark chocolate, brown sugar and dark stone fruits, with a lingering, warm finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat first — the finishes need no help — then with a few drops of water to separate the sherry fruit from the Cognac polish. It also makes a luxurious Manhattan. More finished bourbons are in our bourbon whiskey collection.
