Joseph Magnus Triple Cask Finished Bourbon

Nose: Black cherry, flat cola, milk chocolate, spearmint Palate: Oily and smooth. Root beer candy, lemon peel, tobacco. Finish: Bing cherry, toasted almonds

Appearance: Light tobacco-golden brown with a slightly amber hue. Legs: Very slow forming tears that slowly make their way to to the bottom like molasses. Nose: Very sweet and sharp fruity notes, red wine, subtle oak/barrel and grapes, subtle vanilla. Taste: Like the nose, on the front is very fruity with pleasant sweetness that’s moves to the middle with vanilla notes. The finish is barrel heavy with hints of wine and tart grape skin.

There is a lot going on and each part compliments the whole. Great finish and even the burn contributes to the flavor. Will drink again.

Beautiful nose, sweet, rich, caramel, orange, fig and leather. Slight toast in the long finish. Sweet barrel comes through

Finally broke down and got the half bottle of this and boy am I an idiot for waiting so long. Poured neat, nose is fantastic. The cognac casks make themselves known with rich deep floral fruits. Aged leather, antique wood, brown sugar and overripe banana peel round it out. Slightly oily mouthfeel leads out palate of seasoned mahogany and vintage leathers. Its like your drinking a liquified chesterfield sofa. Of course there are classic notes of pure vanilla, cognac fruits and even some sarsaparilla but the sweetness is quite tamped down. Pipe tobacco and walnuts pick up near the end and transition to the finish alongside the museum furniture . This all turns to a pleasant dry/bitter that walks the line perfectly. There is a whisper of smoke, raw vanilla and prune skin that lingers. The flavors are bold and long lasting with nice complexity. At 100 proof still offers wow taste with an easy drinkability not found in most high test offerings This will be especially enjoyed by those who dont like overly sweet bourbons. Well I do and I still find this wonderful. I paid $ 53 for a 375 and feel its easily worth the 100+ for full bottle. I really want to try the cigar blend now despite $150 tagger. If you are on the fence just do it........95/100
