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

Rich tawny port with dark cherries, leather, and raisin notes. The bourbon character still shines through without being overwhelmed by the wine finish. Distinctive and complex with oak still present.

Thick and dense with prominent port influence. Dark fruits including fig, clove, and earthy truffle qualities. Not overly sweet despite the wine finish. The bourbon foundation supports the secondary cask influence well.

Long and lingering with port wine characteristics building over time as the pour opens up. The truffle earthiness and dark fruit notes persist, creating a memorable after-dinner sipper experience.

Really good
A well-crafted port-finished bourbon from Barton that delivers complexity and length without sacrificing the underlying bourbon character, making it an excellent value alternative to premium finished expressions.
