Process & Profile

Joseph Magnus Single Barrel Bourbon Seguin Moreau Cask Private Select “Chasing Bourbon x The Barrel Tap” is an exclusive 10-year-old single barrel selected in collaboration between Chasing Bourbon and The Barrel Tap from the revived Joseph Magnus Private Cask Program.

The whiskey is built from an officially disclosed high-rye mash bill of 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley and matured for 10 years in distinctive Seguin Moreau barrels. Rather than being a secondary barrel finish, these casks are integral to the whiskey's maturation, giving the release a different oak profile from bourbon aged in more conventional cooperage.

Seguin Moreau is internationally known for high-quality cooperage, and Joseph Magnus specifically selected tight-grain barrels featuring careful seasoning and a medium-plus convection toast. According to the producer, these barrels enhance mid-palate density while developing layers of baking spice, dark vanilla bean, toasted nuts, dried fruit, cocoa, and refined tannin.

This individual Chasing Bourbon x The Barrel Tap barrel is bottled at 52.95% ABV (105.9 proof) at cask strength, preserving the distinctive flavor, texture, and oak character of the selected cask without blending it with other barrels.
