Thomas S. Moore Extended Cask Finished Bourbon

Thomas S. Moore Extended Cask Finished Bourbon is a distinguished tribute to a storied legacy in the world of whiskey. Born in 1853, Thomas S. Moore, son of an architect and master craftsman, laid the foundations of a bourbon empire with his distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. Established in 1889, Moore’s distillery would become part of the renowned Barton 1792 Distillery, cementing Bardstown’s reputation as the Bourbon Capital of the World. Moore’s bourbon was celebrated for its quality, and today, his legacy continues through his namesake brands. This particular bourbon starts as a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey but gains its unique character through an extended finish in Cognac casks. This finishing process imparts sophisticated flavors, adding rich, fruity notes and a subtle sweetness to the bourbon. The result is a bourbon with a deep amber hue, inviting aromas of dried fruits, vanilla, and a hint of spice. The taste is a complex blend of sweetness, bourbon spice, caramel, toffee, and a touch of oak, culminating in a long, satisfying finish. This extended cask finish honors Moore’s commitment to excellence and innovation, offering a refined experience that reflects the enduring spirit of bourbon craftsmanship. TASTING NOTES On the palate, notes of orange, apricot and vanilla are followed by complex earthy undertones, with a subtle toasted oak and cedar finish.
