Thomas S. Moore Port Cask Finish
98.9 proof NAS Bourbon Barton 1792 Distillery Bardstown, KY $70

Rich tawny port character with dark cherries, leather, and dried raisin notes. The bourbon shines through without being overwhelmed by the wine finish. Oak remains present underlying the dark fruit aromatics.

Thick and dense with prominent port wine influence bringing dark fruits, figs, and clove. An earthy truffle note complements the richness. Little Kentucky hug noted. The texturally heavy character develops as it opens in the glass.

Long and lingering finish that continues to deepen and develop. The dark fruit, earthiness, and wine-forward character persist and evolve as the bourbon sits on the palate.

Really good
A well-executed port-finished bourbon from Barton that balances bourbon character with wine complexity, offering sophisticated dark fruit and earthy notes at a respectable $70 price point.
