Thomas S. Moore Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey Chardonnay Cask 97.9PF (2021)

Product Description:

The Thomas S. Moore Extended-Finish Bourbon line intends to honor Thomas S. Moore, a bourbon pioneer who built the distillery known today as Barton 1792 Distillery. The tall bottles feature imagery that pays homage to the legacy of Moore. Each label displays the image of a racehorse, honoring one of Moore’s earliest whiskey brands, Belle of Nelson, named for the thoroughbred who won the Kentucky Oaks in 1878.

To create this whiskey, Barton 1792’s high-rye recipe bourbon aged for five to six years in new charred oak barrels before filling other casks that previously matured various wines or spirits from around the world. The whiskey then rest for an additional one to four years.

Tasting Notes: Complex nose of gingerbread spices, dark chocolate, leather book bindings, roasted pecans, blackberry and raspberry preserves, and decadent brown sugar. The palate is tightly wound and needs patience to fully reveal its manifold flavors that range from dried cherries and roasted peanuts to lemon and orange peel, integrated baking spice, and marshmallow. It's tied off neatly with chocolate-covered peanuts, citrus peel, and sweet oak.
