Joseph Magnus Triple Cask Finished Bourbon

A sample gifted from the "Whiskey Transfer Program" from dthom. I like this. It didn't blow me away but it's good and kind of unique. Nose: Heavy wood with flavors I often expect from a sherry aged scotch. A pronounced sweet vanilla flavor with dried fruits. A strong alcohol bite at first but after sitting in the glass a couple minutes this subsided. Flavor: Cherry and lots of it, wood, honey, and more dried fruits. A lot of nutty flavors like pistachio and walnut. Finish: Long finish with more wood flavors and caramel sweetness transitioning to a long minty trail off. I think I like the nose and initial flavors more than the finish but this is a solid whiskey just WAY overpriced. If this were $40-$50 I could see this being something I'd keep around.

Raisin and cooked berries, baking spices and some barrel char. Awesome blend of finished bourbons.

Nothing wrong with well aged MGP sourced whiskey

Bold flavor

Nose: cherries, cigar ash, wet leather, licorice (red and black), pepper, and crushed mint leaves. Taste: nutmeg, clove, , leather, bitter sweet dark chocolate, a full body cigar, and burnt sugar. Experience: Muted luxury. Dark chocolate, leather seats, big bookshelves, a thick and deep experience, not a flash in the pan. It's not a gold watch but a leather couch. Not a Lamborghini but a custom Land Rover. Money made from having a better product than anyone else, not investing in bit coin. What I am trying to get at is it's not sweet or flashy but deep and well made. Lots to find if you care to take your time but none of it will impress your friends unless they know what to look for. I'll admit I was not expecting as much as I got. This is a fantastic example of why new distillers should be spending less time worrying about pure Bourbon and more time experimenting with finishes.
