Thomas S. Moore Finished in Sherry Casks is an extended cask-finished Kentucky straight bourbon from the historic Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, bottled at 98.7 proof (49.35% ABV). It was released in March 2022 as part of the second Thomas S. Moore collection.
The bourbon is aged five to six years in new charred oak, then moved into Oloroso sherry casks for an extended finish of one to four years, far longer than most finishes, so the sherry has time to integrate deeply.
The brand honours Thomas S. Moore, who founded the distillery in 1889 on the site Barton 1792 still occupies today. The sherry finish adds dried fruit, nuttiness and spice to the classic Barton bourbon profile.
Thomas S. Moore bottles are a favourite of collectors who enjoy comparing the series' different wine and spirit cask finishes.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
