Thomas S. Moore Port Cask Finish Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, USA

An immaculate and rare Port finish in the Bourbon category.

Founded in 1874 in Bardstown, Kentucky, The Barton 1792 Distillery has been around for a while and it’s changed many-a hand and many-a name. Right from the start, Tom Moore was an employee there and he eventually bought the distillery and named it Morton Spring Distillery. Then, he sold it to a group of outside investors. He stayed as an employee at the shop, but then, he bought the lot next door to open a brand new competing distillery. Eventually, he was able to buy Morton Spring Distillery once again and merge the two operations, building an innovative Whiskey empire. He renamed the combined operation “The Thomas Moore Distillery”. After the Prohibition, he sold the property and it was bought and sold a few more times. Sazerac bought it in 2009 and decided to rechristen the entire operation “The Barton 1792 Distillery.” Full circle

Thomas S. Moore Port Cask Finish Bourbon honors the Whiskey pioneer who was making Whiskey there back in 1874. Crafted from Barton 1792 Bourbon with a high rye mash bill, the juice is first aged for at least 5 years in new American oak and finished in Port casks for a couple of extra years. Let us tell you, this is an immaculate Port finish and these are not easy to come by, especially in the Bourbon category. Soft and sweet, this beauty releases subtle vanilla and baking spices.
