Reviewed May 5, 2022 (edited April 25, 2023)Always a treat when I get the honor of trying one of these. This sadly is just a sample i received, but I'll do my best here as always. This one is the seven swans a swimming batch 66 at 64.85. This likely is the barton/MGP blend with most likely the 21% rye MGP and I suspect we'll be in that 12-20 year age range. Those are at least my assumptions going in. Nose - Right off the bat this is a distinctly candied and very sweet example of cigar blend. Rye notes do come out, giving hints of smoke, leather, tobacco, and well just regular old rye. Lightly caramel covered apples are here, likely the barton notes. Here I get almost waxy fall leaves, not the generally just fall leaves but there's a bit of a wax over coat. Heavily spiced and some good citrus notes. I'm more in the apples going into lemon zone, but you could argue the spices might remind you of some type of orange influenced spiced product. Taste - Cinnamon and spice...chocolate cake or perhaps some dried pastry, vanilla, oak, leather, apple cider, mint leaves, and yes some grape notes. Very spicy, very tobacco/leather heavy for sure. The overall whisky is very sweet upfront and on the nose. And then really nicely spiced and oaky on the finish. Thinking the "kentucky" bourbon is 14+ year stuff which is really where that distillery hits a sweet spot. Going 3.75 stars. Maybe should be 4? Really exceptional bourbon. But you know me, I'm a hard grader. -

Reviewed November 28, 2021 (edited March 10, 2022)Cocktail night in St Pete and my son has been holding out on me. This was his contribution to the party. Incredibly rich and complex nose, Butterscotch, green apples, nutmeg all easily discernible. I consider finished bourbons as in the "cheater class" as they are not pure bourbon. This one is done in such a way as not to be obvious. The Cognac, Armagnac and Sherry sit in the background and do not overwhelm a young bourbon to make it taste- wait for it- like bourbon. Well done Magnus, the finishing is well integrated. Great barrel and rye flavors lead on the palate. The body is rich and chewy. I like it neat or with a cube, the ethanol lets you know it's there but drinks more like a mid ninety proof until you stop talking to the crowd and take a step. This was the hit of the evening but we're not finished yet. Not sure I can properly critique the next. Frank has Bardstown Bourbon's latest collaboration up next. It's already been a great evening. -

Reviewed August 12, 2021 (edited June 24, 2022)Amazingly sweet with a nice smokey finish. I would describe this as a perfect marriage between bourbon and scotch. -

Reviewed August 5, 2021 (edited August 15, 2022)Batch 42. Heavy alcohol on the nose. Let it sit for a while and it softens. This is an example of a finished whisky that is well done. It’s not too strong on the Armagnac. Brown sugar, honey, oak and tobacco. As the name suggests, this would be fantastic paired with a cigar.150.0 USD per Bottle
