Thomas S. Moore Port Cask Finish Bourbon Whiskey

Port Cask is the Thomas S. Moore that Drinkhacker graded A and called the easy winner of the trio — Barton 1792's high-rye bourbon aged five to seven years and then two to five more in port casks, bottled at 98.9 proof. Thomas S. Moore founded the Bardstown distillery in 1889 that Sazerac runs today as Barton 1792, home of the 1792 bourbons; the Thomas S. Moore line, launched 2020, is Barton's extended-finish project — the 1792 high-rye recipe, fully matured in new charred oak, then given years rather than months in wine casks, the longest finishes in mainstream Kentucky bourbon. The Port Cask spends two to five years in casks that held port and bottles at 98.9 proof. Drinkhacker: sweet red berries and cherry on the nose; enormous body with juicy fruit and milk chocolate on the palate; and enduring caramel and toffee. The Whiskey Shelf finds the long finish reading as integrated dark fruit rather than a wine layer on top. Expect a rich, dessert-leaning bourbon — cherry, plum, chocolate, caramel — with the rye spice underneath and a long, sweet finish. Honest note: port-finished bourbon is everywhere and usually a two-month gimmick; this is years in the cask from a major house, and the one the reviewers agree on — for the after-dinner pour and the Angel's Envy drinker who wants more. Neat, after dinner. Thomas S. Moore, port.
