Moore Merlot casks Cask Finish Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey","description":"\u003cp\u003eWine-cask finishing works best when the wine is soft, and merlot is about as soft as red wine gets. That makes it a sympathetic partner for Kentucky bourbon, lending fruit and color without the tannic grip a bigger red would impose. Thomas S. Moore takes fully aged straight bourbon and gives it a second maturation in merlot casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bourbon's caramel and baking spice pick up black cherry, plum, cocoa and a gentle dryness at the edges. It is richer and jammier than the base whiskey, with a long, faintly tannic finish. Pour it neat, or over one large cube, and serve it after a steak or with aged cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bardstown, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask:\u003c\/strong\u003e Finished in merlot casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Thomas S.
