Overview

Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend is one of the most hunted bottles in modern bourbon. It's a blend of straight bourbons finished in three different casks, Armagnac, Cognac, and Oloroso Sherry, which gives it a layered, rich profile you don't get from a standard bourbon.

Bottled at 100 proof, it brings dark fruit, leather, dark chocolate, and oak with a long, warming finish. Named for the kind of pour that holds up to a good cigar, but it doesn't need one to shine. A serious upgrade for anyone moving past the usual shelf bottles

Tasting Notes

  • NOSE: Dark fruit, dark chocolate, and toasted oak with hints of leather, raisin, and brown sugar.
  • PALATE: Rich and layered. Dark cherry, fig, and dark chocolate up front, followed by oak, leather, brown sugar, and a touch of spice. The cask finishes give it real weight without losing the bourbon underneath.
  • FINISH: Long and warming. Oak, dark fruit, and gentle spice hang around with a clean, dry close.

Distillery Information

Jos. A. Magnus & Co. is based in Washington D.C. and takes its name from Joseph Magnus, a real 19th-century whiskey merchant whose original brand stopped during Prohibition. The brand was relaunched in the 2010s, and the team built a reputation for finishing whiskey in casks that bring real depth to the final blend.

Cigar Blend sits at the top of the Magnus range. The blending and finishing work is what makes it stand out, with each cask type bringing something different to the glass. Sherry adds dark fruit and richness, Cognac brings softness, and Armagnac throws in a bit of edge. The result is a bourbon that drinks like a serious end-of-night pour.

Who this bottle is for

  • Bourbon drinkers ready to upgrade well past the usual shelf bottles
  • Fans of cask-finished whiskey with real depth and layered flavour
  • Anyone who enjoys a bourbon alongside a cigar
  • Drinkers chasing dark, rich profiles with dark fruit and chocolate notes
  • Allocated bottle hunters after one of the most respected modern bourbons
  • Sippers who appreciate a slow, end-of-night pour

How to enjoy

Pour it neat and let it sit for a minute. A drop of water can open up more of the dark fruit and chocolate if you want to dig in a bit deeper. Pairs well with a cigar, but it doesn't need one. A bottle this layered is better appreciated on its own without anything getting in the way.

Why we curate it

Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend is one of those bottles bourbon fans hunt for a reason. Proper depth, real layered character from the cask finishes, and the kind of pour that rewards taking your time over it. A serious step up from your usual shelf bottle and one worth grabbing when you find it.
