{"title":"Joseph Magnus","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eJoseph A. Magnus went into the wholesale liquor business in Cincinnati in 1892 at age 26, and his flagship Murray Hill Club Whiskey — named to capitalize on the gentleman's club craze of the era — became one of the finest bourbons of the pre-Prohibition age before the company shut its doors in 1918. Then it sat dormant for nearly a century, until 2007, when Magnus's great-grandson Jimmy Turner found an intact, 122-year-old bottle of the original. The family handed samples to whiskey experts to reverse-engineer the flavor, and in 2015 the company was relaunched under its original name. The person who cracked it was Nancy Fraley, one of the most respected master blenders in American spirits, working from roughly 250 milliliters of liquid from an 1892 bottle. Her analysis suggested the original had seen sherry casks, which gave her what she called \"historical permission\" to create one of American whiskey's first triple cask finishes: bourbon finished in Oloroso sherry, Pedro Ximénez, and Cognac casks. In 2016 she followed with the first-ever Cigar Blend Bourbon — an idea borrowed from Armagnac, now copied across the industry. The range spans the Triple Cask flagship, the coveted Cigar Blend batches, the Murray Hill Club blend of 18 and 11 year bourbon with light whiskey at 103 proof, and the Special Release series. Fraley retired in 2026 after twelve years, passing the reins to head blender Will Fabry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBrowse our full Joseph Magnus collection with fast nationwide shipping delivered straight to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"joseph-magus-cigar-blend-bourbon","title":"Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend Bourbon Batch 237","description":"\u003cp\u003eJoseph Magnus Cigar Blend is the result of Magnus Master Blender Nancy Fraley’s desire to revel in a bourbon that can hold its own alongside a fine cigar.

This gin is crafted from 100% corn distillate that has been steeped and distilled with smoky harissa, giving it a dry-medium body with a sophisticated finish. The flavor profile of Navy Strength Gin is complex and well-balanced, with notes of 4-year-old Italian juniper, figs, fresh mint, lemon, hops, and hibiscus. This gin is sure to pack a punch at 114 proof, and it is a must-have for any gin lover. The term \"Navy Strength\" dates back to the 18th century, when legislation was passed in Britain requiring every vessel of the Royal Navy to have a certain quantity of gin on board as a preventive measure for scurvy and malaria. It was discovered that only gin that was at least 57% ABV (alcohol by volume) would still ignite gunpowder, and thus the term \"Navy Strength\" was born.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43532000526592,"sku":"C0006314L","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/products\/JoeMagnusGin.jpg?v=1673211363"}],"url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/collections\/joseph-magnus.oembed","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
