#Tasting Notes-

Nose: Like Maricchio cherries in a bottle, brown sugar, heavy butterscotch notes like the taste of those candies from your grandma but in smell form, small toffee notes but nothing too strong. Really sweet smell. Its mouthwatering to me.

Palate: Thats a strong first sip. My mouth feels assaulted. The taste is sour oak on the first sip. Maybe Sour Green apples too, A sharp sour like a lime though not a lemon. The oak isnt heavy though. The ethanol reveals itself fairly quickly after that. It fades fairly quick and once the it does its sweetness. Feels like I got tricked by a magician. Dark cherries, plum, some peanuts mixed in there after the sweetness. The taste doesnt change much each sip and its a pretty damn good thing considering its sweet and smooth.

Finish: The finish is not bad. it takes its time dissipating leaving you an after taste of sweetness. I kinda cant describe it. Like I can taste a berry but theres a hint of oak to it in the palate that lingers. Its pretty pleasant. Even some chocolate comes up in the finish imo. The sting of ethanol stays fairly longer than I thought it would. gives you that Kentucky hug in your body but it likes to hug your tongue just as much. It makes me want to go back for more.

Conclusion:

Rating: 8.8

Would I buy it again: Yeah honestly. This was surprisingly good and probably the most wierd (in a good way) bottle i have. I just found it today for msrp and grabbed it immediately because I never find these for anything close. I know these batches can differ but this batch is a hit. I believe this qualifies as batch 14 in 2025 due to the engraving on the bottom.

Review #3 Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend Batch #414

"Summer Fruit Cup Batches"-

"The coupe mere that comprises batches #407 – 416 is quite fruity, comprised of 10 year-old 36% MGP Bourbon, 17 year old Barton’s rye Bourbon, and 20 year old MGP 21% rye Bourbon. It offers up notes of apricot bundt cake, hot buttery croissants, and Italian ricotta pie. These notes carry over to the palate, where tropical inspired flavors of shaved coconut, pineapple upside down cake, and mango lassi make themselves known. The finish is long, with further fruity notes of fruit cocktail with cinnamon swirls. For those that prefer the fruitier batches of Jos.Magnus Cigar Blend Bourbon, these batches will not disappoint."

This is from their website talking about the batch.

#Tasting Notes-

Nose: Very Sweet nose with hints of tobacco/toffee. I genuinely cant pick out what the sweetness is. Like burnt honey with some berry mixed in. A creamy smell like vanilla candles shows up too.

Palate: Very sweet oaky ethanol first taste that goes away very fast and leaves you with a mixed bag of fruity tastes. A big one is a zesty/spicy orange/lemon flavor that smooths out and turns into a pineapple taste that then turns into dark cherries/raspberries. Every sip gives you a different taste. I can taste sweet leather like notes to sweet berries. This is honestly crazy. It just doesnt have a preference. And as it sits for longer it gets smoother and leans more into the sweeter notes.

Finish: Its soo thick. When you swirl it in a glass, it coats the glass and doesnt retreat back into the cup for like 15 seconds. It does the same trick on your tongue and palate. The finish is stupidly long. Its like eating honey. Ill be thinking its over, move my tongue a little and it comes right back like it was hiding in some corner of my mouth. The Finish is actually sweet too and not oaky/leathery. The berries just stay there and smooth out similar to what eating a cherry/raspberry danish is like. Its incredible.

Conclusion: This is easily the best Bourbon I have. Its stupidly complex and sweet. It almost fits my flavor profile perfectly. I love this. I didnt think a Bourbon would be able to coat your mouth like this and stay so pleasant after 20-30 seconds. In fact jts been a whole minute and the after taste is still there. Im doubting I would be able to find something comparable to this without it being a bottle thats stupidly popular like Jack 14 or RR 15. Haven't tried those either but I think my flavor profile may still prefer this.

Rating: 9.5

Would I buy it again: Yes! I hope that its the same batch in fact.

What stops me from giving this a 10 is that spicy/zesty flavor after the initial hit of ethanol. Its like a curtain that is swept away to reveal whats actually there. Im not against it but if it had a less strong flavor to it I would say this is easily a 10. Just an incredible Bourbon imo. I cant say anything less.
