Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend Straight Bourbon Whiskey – Batch 449 Batch 449 of the legendary Cigar Blend series is here — a 100-proof stunner built for depth, nuance, and slow enjoyment. This blend marries award-winning Joseph Magnus Bourbon with 11- and 18-year-old whiskeys, finished in Armagnac casks for an extra layer of fruit-driven richness. Tasting Notes Aroma: Tobacco, spice, leather, vanilla, toffee, and dried fruit, plus the signature “Ginger Spice & Everything Nice” profile found in batches 447–456 — gingerbread cake, cream cheese frosting, Buddha’s Hand citron, jasmine, and tangy sumac. Palate: A burst of nutty dragon fruit and prickly pear that settles into custard, vanilla bean, hazelnut, brown butter, and crème caramel. Finish: Complex, aromatic, and ever-evolving — exactly why Cigar Blend is so collectible. Batch 449 is limited, layered, and full of character. A must-have for Magnus fans and anyone who loves a richly expressive bourbon.
