Joseph Magnus Triple Cask Finished Bourbon

Nice burn, smooth flavor.

of note: this is a tasting of the Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend #3, specifically a barrel pick. nose: raisins, grain, some wood. not as crunchy and oaky as i would’ve expected, to be honest. palate: there’s the oak. again, not as aggressive as i would’ve thought based on the branding of this bottle. not sure of the proof on this but it drinks mad smooth for what i believe is actually a barrel proof. a little thin in the body, with long skinny legs in the glass. finish: short, satisfying, a little peppery. some sage or savory herbs?

Private barrel pick. Nose is tremendous with cherries galore. Cherry continues on the taste with the sweetness almost effervescent on the tip of my tongue, followed by vanilla and oak at the back. Very long finish.

Pretty delicious. Definitely worth the $100 bottle.
