Barton's Thomas S. Moore Chardonay Cask Finished Bourbon 750 ML

Buffalo Trace’s Barton 1792 Distillery is launched a new line of bourbons named in honor of Thomas S. Moore, the man who originally built the Barton distillery back in 1889. The trick with this lineup is that they will all feature extended finishing in a variety of cask types. The first three expressions, all feature wine casks, including chardonnay, Port, and cabernet sauvignon. (Both the chardonnay and cabernet casks come from California.) As distiller Danny Kahn explained during an online tasting of this trio of whiskeys, each of these whiskeys starts with the 1792 high-rye bourbon recipe and completes its first round of aging (5 to 7 years) in new charred oak barrels. They then go into their secondary casks for a truly “extended” finishing period that ranges for 2 to 5 additional years — a lifetime in bourbon finishing.
