Joseph Magnus

Joseph A. Magnus, was a pre-Prohibition distiller who opened a distillery in Washington DC in 1892. Production ceases during Prohibition but a few bottles survived over 100 years being passed down through the family to be discovered by Magnus’ great-grandson, Jimmy Turner, when cleaning out his mother’s house in 2007. After almost a decade of research and consultation with bourbon veterans, Turner and a team of liquor industry experts re-established Joseph A. Magnus & Co. in 2015.
