Joseph Magnus

Joseph Magnus Bourbon revives the Jos. A. Magnus & Co. legacy originally established in the 1890s, relaunched in 2015 after a bottle from 1892 was discovered. The signature Joseph Magnus Bourbon is aged straight bourbon finished in Oloroso Sherry, Pedro Ximénez, and Cognac casks — a triple-cask finishing process producing vanilla, citrus, dark chocolate, and stone fruit complexity. The Cigar Blend combines 11 and 18-year-old whiskeys finished in Armagnac casks; Murray Hill Club blends 18, 11, and 9-year-old expressions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Joseph Magnus triple-cask finishing process?

After primary aging, the straight bourbon is finished sequentially in three distinct cask types: Oloroso Sherry (rich dried fruit and nutty sweetness), Pedro Ximénez (intensely sweet dark raisin and fig), and Cognac barrels (brandy-forward esters and dried flower character). The three finishing stages layer complexity that no single cask finish produces, making Joseph Magnus one of the most elaborately finished bourbons available.

What is the Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend?

A blend of 11 and 18-year-old whiskeys finished in Armagnac casks, specifically designed to complement fine cigars. The Armagnac finishing adds tobacco-adjacent leather, dried fruit, and earthy complexity that pairs intentionally with cigar smoke rather than competing with it. Limited production makes it one of the more sought-after expressions in the lineup.
