Homestead Barrel Proof Bourbon Whiskey

Homestead Bourbon styles itself as a "barrel proof" bourbon and is indeed bottled at a relatively high 113.3 (though we have personally noticed many single barrel bourbons in the 120s). We're told by co-founder and president John Andrews that their bourbon is distinguished by being barrel proof (stressed in the title) and very proud of the fact that it is uncut (most bourbon is blended back with water to bring it down to 80-90 proof from the 110+ that sits in the barrel) and unfiltered (many whiskeys are chill filtered, which removes some of the fatty acids and can make the spirit taste lighter and thinner). To their mind, this brings out the greater glory of the flavor of the bourbon than competitor products... though it also means the consumer may want to drop a little water in before drinking!

Homestead Barrel Proof Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich coconut creme brulee and buttery toffee aromas.

Palate: A touch of acetone. Supple, fruity-yet-dry medium-to-full body.

Finish: A nicely balanced finish with notes of dried fruits, cocoa, root beer, and zesty baking spices.

Distillery Information

Jos. A. Magnus & Co. distillery was re-established in 2015, but the legacy of Joseph Magnus Bourbon dates back to the 1890s. After Magnus' great-grandson rediscovered an old bottle of his ancestor's whiskey amongst family heirlooms, the idea was hatched to revive the art of finished bourbon. Joseph Magnus Bourbon is comprised of 12-year-old bourbon from MGP in Indiana and triple-cask finished over several months in Oloroso sherry, Pedro Ximenez sherry, and Cognac casks at the Jos. A. Magnus & Co. distillery in Washington, D.C.
