Joseph Magnus Murray Hill Club Blended Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

A true bourbon blend crafted using the same techniques Joseph Magnus used to create this original pre-Prohibition spirit more than 100 years ago. Artfully marries 18 and 11-year-old bourbon with 9-year-old light whiskey to deliver notes of butterscotch, honey, toffee, autumnal baking spices, vanilla, and char, with a hint of black pepper that lingers through a softly spiced and toasted finish.

The drinkers of Murray Hill Club Whiskey were, in accordance with Joseph’s vision, people of discriminating taste and mature judgment. Magnus actively introduced his whiskey into the leading bars, hotels, cafes, and groceries of his day. Local newspapers were peppered with advertisements for this new whiskey, which quickly earned great acclaim. He encouraged readers to sample just a taste, for “Give this whiskey a trial once, and you’ll take no other brand.”

Tasting Notes:

Toasty, buttery notes of vanilla and char, with layers of spiced, dried fruits through the finish.

Reviews:

"Tasting Murray Hill was an adventure in whiskey made in a fashion of an era gone by," said Henry Preiss, whose former company built the AH Hirsch Bourbon Brand.

"Overall, this batch is a winner. Murray Hill Club delivers pungent, dusty, bourbon notes with a focus on rich, savory dessert." - The Daily Pour (92 Points)

"Rich oak on a nose that offers butterscotch, vanilla ice cream, and sugared pecans, along with red fruit, baking spice, and black pepper. The palate reveals more vanilla, as well as almonds, honey, toffee, and gingerbread. Chocolate, baking spice, pepper, leathery oak, and tobacco leaf complete a long, sinewy finish that shows its maturity well." - David Fleming, Whisky Advocate (90 Points)

"This is a bourbon whiskey that I would definitely want on my bar. It is very complex and offers a lot of the flavors that I really enjoy. This is one you could go back to and pick something different out every time. If you can find it for retail, this is a solid purchase." - Whiskey Consensus
