A Decade in the Making: The Return of the Private Cask Program
HOLLAND, Mich., Sept. 9, 2025 — Jos. A. Magnus & Co. proudly announces the revival of its Private Cask Program, featuring a limited release of 10-year-old, cask strength bourbon aged in rare Seguin Moreau barrels. This exclusive offering is crafted from a high-rye mash bill (60% corn, 36% rye, 4% malted barley) and delivers a rich, complex flavor profile that bourbon enthusiasts will savor.
Barrel Selection Experience: Onsite and Virtual Options
Originally launched in 2016 and paused in 2019, the program returns with a refined experience. Participants can select their barrel onsite at the Holland, Michigan distillery, or opt for a limited virtual selection. Each purchase includes the original Seguin Moreau barrel, offering a tangible piece of bourbon-making history.
“Resurrecting the Private Cask Program has been a passion project for our entire team,”
— Ali Anderson, CEO of CraftCo.
The Elegance of Seguin Moreau Cooperage
The Seguin Moreau barrels, sourced from one of France’s most respected cooperages, feature tight grain and medium-plus convection toast. This enhances the bourbon’s mid-palate density and reveals layers of:
- Baking spice
- Dark vanilla bean
- Toasted nuts
- Refined tannins
- Dried fruit
- Cocoa
“Every cask in this release tells its own story,”
— William Fabry, Head Blender at Jos. A. Magnus
