Joseph Magnus 10 Year Cask Strength Rye Whiskey Review
This new release from the venerable Michigan brand is their first ever rye. Another 95 percent rye, bottled at a smoking 113.4 proof, this whiskey has a spicy, citrusy, almost perfume-y nose. The palate is Heath bar backed by notes of cloves, black pepper, cinnamon, and a warming, tannic presence on the finish.
