Official tasting notes for Joseph Magnus 10 Year Cask Strength Rye Whiskey Batch 1 follow:
Nose: The first impression is luxuriously decadent: notes of crème brûlée give way to the presence of English toffee and maple-glazed éclair. Cherry cola fizzes beneath the surface, enhanced by fragrant orange peel that brightens the darker, richer layers of bitter chocolate and candied almonds. As the whiskey opens, whispers of clove and freshly crushed peppercorn emerge, weaving an elegant thread of spice through its confectionary sweetness. Palate: Velvety and commanding, the arrival unfolds like a finely crafted dessert served beside a glowing hearth. Caramelized sugar melts into dark chocolate and buttery toffee before cherry cola and candied citrus awaken the senses with vibrant energy. Roasted almonds and maple pastry richness linger in the background. The rye’s signature spice arrives with quiet confidence; notes of clove, cracked pepper and seasoned oak adding structure without overshadowing the whiskey’s remarkable sweetness. Finish: The finale is long, graceful, and contemplative. Echoes of cocoa, toffee and caramelized sugar slowly dissolve into lingering orange zest and maple glaze, while matured oak and pleasant rye spice leave a warm, gently drying embrace. Fleeting hints of peppercorn and clove persist like the final notes of a well-played symphony.
Joseph Magnus 10 Year Cask Strength Rye Whiskey is available now for a suggested retail price of $74.99.
