This barrel is MGP Rye, aged 8 years and 3 months, yielded only 180 bottles and rings in at a modest 119.26 proof. Notes of caramel, cocoa and almonds on the nose. Mouthfeel is weighty with notes of candied orange, cherries, dusted cocoa and a hint of cinnamon. Finish is long and leaves you with that Nestle quick cocoa powder you had as a kid along with stone fruits with the slightest tannins. Neat its reminiscent of an old fashioned, few drops of water open up the nose to more caramel and palate to bigger and brighter cherry notes that finish with a fresh orange rind then back to more cherry.

This is one of the best rye barrels that we have ever selected, seriously!

Bottles are dipped in Silver wax and finished with glitter because why not?

About New England Barrel Company:

New England Barrel Company is focused on bringing curated spirits to the glasses of our community members and customers. Their relationships in the industry allow them to fine barrels that are hidden gems that are not easily attainable.

We are proud to announce the arrival of our Redstone Barrel Society exclusive bottling of Joseph Magnus Straight Bourbon. This Particular barrel was aged for 13 years and 3 months and was originally distilled in Indiana (uhum MGP). Unlike some Magnus selections we chose to keep this barrel unfinished to maintain its Awesomeness.

This selection of Joseph Magnus Bourbon rings in at a modest 106 proof. It boasts strong aromas of vanilla and sweet caramel. Upon first sip cherries and other ripe stone fruit shine through, layers of sweet caramel along with lightly dusted cocoa and dark chocolate creep up on the finish. Slight chocolatey tannins leave you yearning the next sip. (Cadbury fruit and nut in liquid form)

Each bottle has our “Magnus Cum Laude” sticker afixed to the back letting you know your palate has earned high honors. In addition bottles are waxed dipped in silver, gold as well as a few select bottles with both.

Bottles go on sale Wednesday October 9th 2019, 12pm at our Redstone Liquors Stoneham location for $105/750ml. Anyone who purchases a silver waxed dipped bottle is eligible to purchase another bottle with gold wax. The first 15 people who purchase both the silver and gold waxed bottles are then eligible to purchase the Gold & Silver waxed bottle to complete their set.

BONUS: each bottle of our Joseph Magnus Single barrel bourbon gets 3 tickets to our annual whiskey draft to be held in November.
