Joseph Magnus Murray Hill Club Special Release
Batch #4
Artfully blended 8yr and 17yr bourbons distilled from 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% barley malt mash and finished four months in hand-selected, fresh Calvados casks imported from the lower Normandy region of France.
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, 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 wash across the palate.
