Distillery: Jos. A. Magnus & Co. Distillery

This limited edition blended bourbon whiskey (a combination of 18 and 11 year old bourbons and a 9 year light whiskey) was finished in casks that once held Pineau des Charentes, a regional French aperitif wine fortified with Cognac. These barrels were hand-selected by master blender Nancy Fraley, who fell in love the aperitif while spending time in France. According to the distillery’s official tasting notes, the Pineau des Charentes casks impart a subtle, fruity/earthy complexity to the Murray Hill Club profile.

Joseph Magnus Murray Hill Club Special Release Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: The Murray Hill Club Special Release has a nose you have to experience for yourself. The most intriguing aspect is a deep, earthy base that reminds me of a wine cellar. This is layered with decadent notes of dark fruit, burnt brown sugar or maple syrup, oak, grape juice, and a light tropical/citrus note deep in the glass. This is Nancy Fraley showing off.

Palate: The profile is sweet up front with the dark fruit from the nose leading the way. The mid-palate brings out grape bubble gum, maple candy, cinnamon, and an ample punch from the alcohol. An expertly balanced whiskey that brings you something different with each sip. I can’t wait to revisit this over the next few months.

Finish: This is where this whiskey really flexes its muscles. The ample proof provides a bold, viscous finish that coats your mouth with dark chocolate, red hots, and a smoky barrel char note that lingers in the back of your throat. Big, dark, and captivating.

Distillery Information

Jos. A. Magnus & Co. distillery was re-established in 2015, but the legacy of Joseph Magnus Bourbon dates back to the 1890s. After Magnus’ great-grandson rediscovered an old bottle of his ancestor’s whiskey amongst family heirlooms, the idea was hatched to revive the art of finished bourbon. Joseph Magnus Bourbon is comprised of 12-year-old bourbon from MGP in Indiana and triple-cask finished over several months in Oloroso sherry, Pedro Ximenez sherry, and Cognac casks at the Jos. A. Magnus & Co. distillery in Washington, D.C.
