Joseph Magnus Bourbon is a marriage of straight bourbon whiskeys aged in white oak barrels and finished in Oloroso sherry, Pedro Ximénez sherry and Cognac casks, bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV).
Joseph Magnus is named for a legendary nineteenth-century distiller, and a team of industry experts set out to recreate the spirit of his original whiskey. The straight bourbon base is distilled in Indiana, and the triple-cask finish adds layers of dried fruit, brandy complexity and refined sweetness to the classic bourbon character.
Rich and deep, it brings notes of orange citrus, dried dark fruits and vanilla, with dark chocolate, brown sugar and stone fruit, and a lingering, warm finish.
A triple-cask finished bourbon, it makes a fine gift for bourbon lovers.
Sip it neat or over a single large ice cube.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
Straight bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn, aged at least two years in new charred oak and bottled with nothing added but water.
Oloroso sherry casks lend nutty, dried fruit notes, Pedro Ximénez casks bring raisin and fig sweetness, and Cognac casks add fruit and floral brandy character; together they layer complexity over the bourbon.
At 100 proof it carries enough strength to hold the finishing flavours while staying smooth enough to sip.
