Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend Armagnac, Sherry, Cognac Finished (Batch 489), 56.08%

Price: 200 ● Issue: Fall 2026 ● Reviewer: Julia Higgins ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

This blend takes bourbon finished in sherry and cognac casks and pairs it with older bourbon, aged 11 to 18 years, that’s finished in armagnac casks. The nose is rife with vanilla, strawberry, cinnamon sugar, and a touch of candied ginger. The palate combines those sweeter notes with earthier flavors of sassafras and peanut brittle. Brown sugar pops up on the finish, joined by the flavors of a PB&J sandwich.
