Wow, pretty much all those finishes sound really worth trying! In my complete ignorance I've never heard of it.
Love the idea of a heavy cognac influence!
Great to see that the proper amount of due diligence was done :)
I think it's always difficult when making recommendations, but I think most people understand the subjectivity/expectations at various price points.
You've made great references to the other offerings in the range...and to say it stands up against other 100 dollar purchases is interesting! It's why we watch :) it's an interesting and honest insight!
Happy drinking!
Great review! I love Joseph Magnus in all its iterations. Nancy Fraley is a blending master!
Interesting review Bill I enjoyed it 🥃
I had a bottle of Club Murray Hill, which I loved. The little that was left became one of the foundations of my infinity bottle (in one of my favorite bottles, Wild Turkey Decades). I have a bottle of Joseph Magnus Triple Cask in my cabinet, which I also thoroughly enjoy.
I have all three. You can't go wrong with any of them! A fantastic company!
Just finished a bottle of this recently, very good! Had to have the first bottle shipped 1-2 years ago, but now you can find it around, thankfully.
Its tasty for sure!
Definitely take some time with this one... says the guy with an almost empty bottle of the stuff...haha
Sounds like a great pour
Thats a totally valid point
I’m a fan of this. Would like to find their other offerings
It truly is a delicious pour. Really like it. It is easily available around me unfortunately Murray Hill and Cigar Blend are not sold in my state.
Love the channel
Thanks! I love Pizza!
Absolutely love this whiskey! Going to be adding Murray Hill Club and hopefully a Cigar Blend if I can ever find one... no luck so far
Also, I love the new format and studio setting. You have come so far since the meeting at the CB grand opening!
Thanks man! Yea, I've been working on my editing and trying to make the channel better. Im glad you enjoyed it
Got mine for around $90. Definitely worth it!
this was the first bourbon ive spent more than 50 on and its deff a stock it for me. absolutely blew me away!
So happy you love it. I enjoy this one frequently
I just received this as a gift. I really enjoy it. I'm usually not good at picking out nosing or tasting notes, but I did get a lot of peanut butter and floral notes on the nose. Cheers!
I'm jealous of your present! I dont wanna finish my bottle because then it'll be gone. Enjoy it!
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary I ask myself, "Do I want two $50 dollar whiskies that are good, or spend $100 on a truly wonderful expression?" I had my favorites locked in for a few years. I tried this one...and the world changed.
What was your favorite previously?
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary Even though the question was directed at alan, I'll answer. My current top 5 are Clynelish 14, Talisker distillers edition, Ardbeg Uigeadail, Pikesville Rye, McKenna 10. Cheers!
I just bought a 2nd bottle of this JM! I really like it but only spent $86 here in Ohio. Can't find the others. I'm really interested in the Cigar version.
Great video Bill. I saw this one for $100 (obviously) and passed. But I think I'll go back and get it at some point. I'm super curious but the price tag is pretty high. It would be the highest I've paid for a bourbon. But damn it, I'm worth it. ha ha Cheers Bill.
You ARE worth it!
Joseph Magnus’ giving away whisky to hook consumers reminds me of Paddy Flaherty in Ireland. I love all three Jo Magnus bottlings and they’ll always be on my shelf. I can still find this one for $90 in my neighborhood but I’ve seen it for $110 and up elsewhere.
Which of the three do you think is best in your opinion?
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary hands down, the Cigar Blend but it’s $175 - $200.
With an Erik Wait recommendation... ill pick it up if I see it
I've been wondering about this product and I haven't heard a bad review from an experienced borboun drinker. I'm just gonna buy it...💯😎
Do it, you won't regret it
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary yes sir that's exactly what I'll do next time I see it in the liquor store. I never get to buy any Stagg or E.H. Taylor so I'll try this.
Try this at the bar and loved it. Bought two bottles and the one I have opened is not even close to the one at the bar. I’m hoping the second one is closer to what I had. The one I have opened is really light in color. The other one is really dark.
The batch number on the bottle is 76. I would avoid this batch.
Good to know!
It's a christmas present once a year... "make it last grandad" 🤣
Good move.
Very similar bottle to Fox & Oden bourbon. Have you tried it?
Good review. Do you find all the flavors overwhelming?
No way. Love them!
If you want to buy this again and want to drive a bit, lighthouse wine and spirits in Beverly MA has it for $88
Good to know! Is that a good store? I'm always game for a drive and some rare whiskey hunting
I can't wait to try this!! We can tell you like this bottle, there isn't much left ;)
Its tasty tasty
Cracking open a bottle tonight, i have been staring it at a while but the price tag always made me hesitate. But your reveiw tipped me in the go for it range. And if I don't like it.....then its all your fault 🤣🤣
I'll gladly accept that responsibility
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary well don't worry, it's glorious!!
🏅
Like or Dislike: Like. Classic intro, beautiful bottle.
Thanks!
hey Bill you can get this from Remedy Liquor for $79. It sure beats paying $100
2nd time I've been suggested that place. Ill have to check it out
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary it's in Glendale, CA and they ship. unbelievable prices on certain things and pure rip off on others
Good to know!
Wat is your favorite sipping whisky?
I'm in kind of a weird situation. I drink lots of different whiskies due to the channel, so i rarely just pour a drink.
If I was going to go pick something right now, it would probably be a Speyside Scotch
How about magnus cigar blend vs red breast 21 year?
Ooo wow. That'll be an expensive episode
Jan 2021 - $91 in Virginia.
$86.00 on sale this month
I need to try this. I have seen 375ml's for $50. I wouldn't feel as bad if I didn't like it.
Good idea!
Yes! Its worth every penny. I love it but I have to ship it in at great expense unfortunately 😕
Gene, Agreed on shipping costs, but look at bundling with 1 or 2 other bottles I want since the shipping cost then only goes up a couple bucks for each additional bottle. Can end up with shipping at about $8 to 12 per bottle. CHEERS!!
Nice review Bill but, definitely out of my league.
I’m going for a birthday bourbon.this is about 120 by me.Yay or nay.?
Its about 20 overpriced imo... your call. Happy birthday +
A good friend generously gave me a half full bottle. It is is very good and unique, but not worth $100. There is really no grounds for it. We need to ask ourselves why is it more expensive than all the great whiskies out there for $60 - $70 like Maker's Private Reserve, Four Roses Private Selection, RR Single Barrel, etc? It is not. Hell, the company doesn't even make their own juice! They simply priced it high for prestige. As the British say "They are having a laugh".
Tried it did it And it’s nice now it’s all subjective but my bottle was not from the same barrel paid $85 was worth maybe $65 and bought 3 . Not sorry but it is no $100 bucks
Cigar Blend, not Cigar Malt😉. No maltiness present with the Cigar Blend.
Hah, oops. Thanks
100? Damn, always 80 around here.
$69 in Maryland.
$109 in Florida
@@dvh6813 it's damn good tho!
@@jamarcigar hi jamar. Where in md you found it?
@@rajeev8055 tinderbox Waldorf
Just got for 70 bucks
Good whiskey, but $200 in California. I always roll my eyes at what most You Tube reviewers pay for whiskey in other states. Night and day.
Thats sad to hear
Total wine has them in NorCal $85.
This MGP is way too expensive for my iron palate. Sorry, Nancy. Many other better values out there.
Get over the fact that it is sourced from MGP. That is just marketing talking. If you say, "I want a distillery with a history and heritage" then there are a lot of whiskies out there ready to fool you. MGP makes half of the whiskies on the shelf. MGP does not have some romantic whiskey story, but it has been producing whiskey since 1847. Most non-distiller producer buy whiskey FROM THEM... and you probably love those whiskies and never knew they were MGP products. Get over your need for a "heritage" story and taste great whiskey. I have more expensive bottles and I would pay $100 for this all day long. Also, Nancy Fraley was instrumental in developing this whiskey. If you know who she is, that says a lot about the flavor profile of this spirit. Most whiskies are not worth $50, even though we pay $60 or $80 a bottle. This one at $100 is a steal. When I bought it I was worried that i might "waste my money" or "fall in love" and have to buy more of this wonderful expensive whiskey. Obviously, I feel in love.
Yea, personally I always look for a history or a story as it makes a better episode, but all in all MGP makes great stuff and I agree with you
