A blended whiskey - Murray Hill Club is a blend of 18 year bourbon, 11 year bourbon and nine year light whiskey - all distilled at MGP and bottled by Joseph Magnus in DC.
The palate reveals more vanilla, as well as almonds, honey, toffee, and gingerbread. Chocolate, baking spice, pepper, leathery oak, and tobacco leaf complete a long, sinewy finish that shows its maturity well.
This is a bourbon whiskey that I would definitely want on my bar. It is very complex and offers a lot of the flavors that I really enjoy. This is one you could go back to and pick something different out every time. If you can find it for retail, this is a solid purchase.
I’ve only encountered a few blends using light whiskey, most of which ran too hot for my liking. This one hits the mark on heat but leaves me wanting just a little more flavor, particularly at this price.
