Thomas S. Moore Thomas S. Moore Extended Cask Finish Kentucky Straight Bourbon Finished in Cabernet Sauvignon 750 ml

Thomas S. Moore Extended Cask Finish is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon that completes its primary aging in new, charred American oak before resting additional months in barrels that previously held Cabernet Sauvignon. Thomas S. Moore is a Bardstown-area label built around secondary wine- and rum-cask finishes rather than one flagship mash bill, and the Cabernet staves push this pour toward darker fruit and tannin, layering red-wine grip over the caramel and vanilla you'd expect from straight bourbon, with a drier, spicier close than an unfinished bottle would give. It suits bourbon drinkers who already like a finished whiskey and want something more savory than the usual sherry cask.

How to drink Thomas S. Moore Extended Cask Finish

Pour it neat or over a single large rock to let the wine-cask tannin show through — this isn't a whiskey that needs mixing to hold interest. It also makes an unusually good Old Fashioned, where the Cabernet finish plays well against orange bitters.
