Thomas S. Moore Merlot Cask Finish Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a distinctive expression from the Barton 1792 Distillery, known for its innovative approach to bourbon production. This bourbon is crafted with a traditional mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, and is initially aged in new charred oak barrels. It is then finished in Merlot wine casks, which impart a unique complexity and depth to the whiskey. The finishing process adds layers of dark fruit and subtle tannins to the classic bourbon notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak. Bottled at a robust ABV, this bourbon offers a rich and full-bodied experience with a smooth finish. Originating from Kentucky, it showcases the region's expertise in bourbon craftsmanship.
