Thomas S. Moore Sherry Cask Finish Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey given an extended finish in sherry casks. Bottled at 49.35% ABV (98.7 proof) in a 750 mL format, the expression combines bourbon structure with the fruit, nut, and spice character associated with its named finishing cask. The sherry treatment is the defining maturation detail, adding a wine-cask layer while keeping Kentucky bourbon at the center of the profile.
The nose opens with sweet fruit and toasted nuts before developing fig, spicy tobacco, and cedar. On the palate, the fruit and nut notes return with a rounded sweetness, while the bourbon's oak structure gives the flavors shape and balance. Fig adds depth, tobacco supplies gentle spice, and cedar brings a dry counterpoint through the finish. The result is a focused cask-finished bourbon with a clear progression from fruit and toasted nuts to warm spice and dry wood.
