Description
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.)
This well-aged Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey was emptied from its oak casks after many years of aging, and then refilled in Port wine casks, left to mature for several more years. The taste is soft and sweet, with subtle hints of fruit, vanilla and baking spices.
