Thomas S. Moore Extended Cask Finish
98.9 Proof
Port Cask Finished Straight Bourbon
Barton 1792 Distillery
$70
Nose
Rich tawny port notes with dark cherries, leather, and oak shining through without being overwhelmed by the wine finish. As it opens, earthy truffle notes emerge beneath the dark fruit complexity.
Palate
Thick and dense with the port coming through more prominently than on the nose, featuring figs, clove, and a distinctive earthy truffle note that develops as the whiskey opens in the glass.
Finish
The finish lingers beautifully with the port wine drawing out dark fruits and maintaining that earthy complexity.
Overall Score
4.5 / 5
A sophisticated port-finished bourbon from Barton 1792 that balances bourbon craftsmanship with wine complexity at an excellent value point.
