This multi-cask finishing imparts a complex character to the bourbon, resulting in a spirit that is both bold and nuanced. Recognized for its exceptional quality, Joseph Magnus Straight Bourbon Whiskey earned Double Gold and was named Best Special Barrel Finished Bourbon at the 2016 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a Kentucky-distilled straight bourbon with a twist: after resting in white oak barrels, it is finished in three different casks, Oloroso sherry, Pedro Ximenez sherry, and Cognac. The result layers the familiar caramel, vanilla, and toffee of a corn-dominant bourbon with the figs, raisins, and dark cherry that sherry wood brings, plus a lift of dried apricot and gentle spice from the Cognac finish. At 100 proof it has the weight to carry all of that, landing velvety and full-bodied before a long finish of oak, dark chocolate, and a hint of smoke. It suits the bourbon drinker who already knows the classic profile and wants to see what cask finishing can add, and it makes a natural bridge for sherried Scotch fans curious about American whiskey. We carry it because the triple finish comes across as harmonious rather than gimmicky, a point the 2016 San Francisco World Spirits Competition recognized with Double Gold and Best Special Barrel Finished Bourbon.
Pairs well with
- Smoked barbecue — The bourbon's caramel sweetness and hint of smokiness on the finish stand up to rich, smoky meats.
- Dark chocolate cake — The dark chocolate and dried fruit notes from the sherry casks echo and deepen a rich chocolate dessert.
- Slow after-dinner sipping — Its long, warming finish of oak and dark chocolate rewards an unhurried pour at the end of a meal.
