It’s a very specific type of wine, and as a result there are far less Madeira finished bourbons versus other wine finished bourbons being produced.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBourbon finished in ex-Madeira wine casks has been hit or miss so far, and Barton’s Thomas S. Moore edition hits both high and low notes. While the aroma is a bit light, the whiskey opens up nicely on the palate, exhibiting an array of sweet fruit notes that combine with caramel and oak to form a pleasant and complex sip. Unfortunately, it transitions from the enjoyable fruit notes to a dry astringency that doesn’t completely ruin the experience, but pulls the whiskey back from its full potential. Most likely a result of its extra long finishing, catching it just right seems a difficult task, as the flavors hit so well in the palate but take a downturn in the finish. The whiskey will please those who appreciate a stronger wine finish, and don’t mind the dryness at the end.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e48.25% ABV\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Top Shelf Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51380264403157,"sku":"TSW\u0026S_VWS200431545","price":74.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/7810\/6581\/files\/Thomas_S._Moore_Madeira_Cask_Bourbon.png?v=1744813222","url":"https:\/\/www.swiglab.com\/products\/thomas-s-moore-madeira-cask-bourbon","provider":"SwigLab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
