Artfully blended 8 and 17-year-old bourbons distilled from 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% barley malt mash and finished for four months in hand-selected, fresh Calvados casks imported from the lower Normandy region of France.
Official tasting notes from Master Blender Nancy Fraley:
For fans of the Jos. A. Magnus Murray Hill Club Special Release Batches #1 and #2, this release shares familiar notes. The color is a burnt sienna to deep mahogany and offers a complex cornucopia of aromas such as apple strudel, gingerbread cake drizzled with white icing, potpourri, old fashioned New England apple molasses (reduced cider syrup), Persian black tea with sugar cubes, and roasted chestnuts. Everything the nose promises is delivered on the palate with further notes of poached pears in ruby red Port, star anise, apple blossom honey, brown butter with cinnamon, roasted coffee beans, dried apricots, brandied cherries, candied walnuts, and aged balsamic vinegar. The finish is extraordinarily long and rich with a tsunami of plum pudding, apple crisp, and citron peels that washes across the palate.
Fine retailers across the nation who offer the full collection of Joseph Magnus spirits will be among the first to receive an allocation of these very limited batches. Be sure to reach out to retailers in your area to inquire about our Murray Hill Club Special Release or use the Store Locator to find a retailer near you.
