Barton 1792 distillery unveils its new Thomas S. Moore brand of cask

BARDSTOWN, Ky. — Barton 1792 Distillery announces the first three expressions of Thomas S. Moore.  The spirit will be available in limited release this December, as a Port Finish, Chardonnay Finish, and a Cabernet Sauvignon Finish.

In 1889, Thomas S. Moore built the Distillery known today as Barton 1792 Distillery. Moore was an early pioneer in Bardstown, recognized today as the Bourbon Capital of the World. Leading up to Prohibition, Moore established a constantly evolving whiskey empire, growing his humble operation into a powerhouse distillery, filling hundreds of barrels of whiskey a day. Business boomed until The 18th Amendment forced the Distillery to cease production in 1920.  Today this namesake line of bourbons intends to honor Thomas S. Moore, an innovative bourbon pioneer.

Barton 1792 Distillery will define a new category of “extended cask finished” bourbon whiskeys with this new collection.

  • Thomas S. Moore Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Port Casks is described as having a taste that is soft and sweet, with subtle hints of vanilla and baking spices. This whiskey is 98.9 proof.
  • Thomas S. Moore Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Chardonnay Casks has a rich taste, with notes of citrus, tropical fruit, and buttery oak. This whiskey is 97.9 proof.
  • Thomas S. Moore Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Cabernet Sauvignon Casks has a bold taste, with notes of dark fruit, caramel, and vanilla. This whiskey is 95.3 proof.
