Magnus Cigar Blend Bourbon stock. This barrel, which is currently 76.1% or 152.2 proof, is the highest proof barrel I have ever found in my professional life. It has gone up in proof from 150.42 to 152.2 proof in the course of several months from mid-January to mid-April, which is really astounding. I've currently got it tucked away, and have plans to use it for something special in the future, the higher powers at Magnus willing. Although it is super delicious and dare I say "smooth," it hurts my liver to drink it. Cheers! Nancy It hurts my liver just to read about drinking it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Nice!

Not that I’m happy about that, as I enjoy the vitamin minerally-ness. Regardless, a very enjoyable medium proof pour, today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For verification purposes, obviously. Did you crash the book club meeting? Hey, everyone. Books, yeah really. Let's talk bourbon! Don't mind me, just looking for snacks.

mbroo5880i Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) Obviously, based on my humorless previous posts, I might not need another pour. I have had only had two pours of WTRB. But, my friends, @Skinsfan1311 and @markandrex are drinking FRSiB. I can't leave them drinking alone yet together. I feel left out. I shall enter the "Four Roses Zone."

I shall enter the "Four Roses Zone." Good call. That last drink was over a large cube and, given my frugal ways, I can't bring myself to waste it, so I poured a splash of this stuff over it. I'm not a fan of the standard Larceny, but, I love the C122 BP iteration. It's one that evolves nicely. This one is sweeter than the previous pours that I've had from.this bottle. It really hitting on all cylinders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effort consistent. Success not so much. More than one librarian asked me to keep it down. In high school that was always difficult. Yes, I went directly downhill. Sorry, yet not. Oh, back on topic. I am drinking a pour of FR SiB while watching Who is Feeding Phil? Trying to keep it cerebral tonight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meet once a month, each member pitches a new bottle for the next meeting, we vote to decide a winner, and we al drink it over the month til the next meeting. Pure genius, Mbroo, you can be an honorary member! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
