Tastes

This is a very nice pour that has some unique flavors. Glad I was able to purchase a bottle at MSRP. That’s a solid price for this bottle.

Put this one on your radar. It’s definitely worth the hunt. The hype is real. I already have a backup bottle.

Very unique and complex pour. I really enjoyed the flavor profile and oily texture. Jack Daniel’s continues to keep putting out some fantastic juice.

It’s a stellar bourbon and a fantastic pour. I’m truly hunting for a backup bottle. It’s an instant buy if you see this $100 or less. It’s the best ECBP I have ever tasted.

Such a fantastic pour. I will be looking for this bottle at MSRP.

This is a very complex bourbon. Love the sweet oak, tobacco, vanilla, and honey flavors. A perfect balance and fantastic pour. Supposedly this was Fred B. Noe’s favorite of the Hardin Creek releases.

This is my first Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend. I was lucky to find this unicorn bottle at Total Wine after searching for almost a year for this bourbon. This is Batch 111 and comes in at 115.14 proof. Still excited that I found one. I allowed this to rest in a Glencarin glass for 20 minutes before sampling. Appearance: Dark Copper / Amber Color Nose: The nose is sweet out the gate. There are tons of fruit that are hard to decipher, but I pick up peach, plum, and apricot. Also a hint of grapes. There is a slight bread or dough like note that comes and goes. Also, can pick the buttery smell that Nancy mentions in her tasting notes. This is definitely has a complex nose as I am struggling to describe all that I’m experiencing. Palate: The taste definitely matches the nose. While it drinks really smooth, there is a nice spice up front. The sweet fruit notes are present and blends well with the rye spice that I’m tasting. I love the creamy mouthfeel and semi sweet chocolate taste. Finish: The finish is medium to long and with a nice Kentucky hug. A slight drying or leather note is mixes in, but the sweet fruit notes continue to linger. This is a good sipper that I believe will open up more over time. Summary: This is a very complex bottle that I will savor for awhile. This will only be shared with my true bourbon friends. I will be on the hunt for another bottle in the future. Great pour.
