Distiller’s notes: “This well aged Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey was emptied from its oak casks after many years of aging, and then refilled in Port wine casks, left to mature for several more years. The taste is soft and sweet, with subtle hints of fruit, vanilla and baking spices - a tribute to the early bourbon aristocrat.“

Whiskey Reviewer: “Sazarac’s Barton 1792 Distillery has introduced its first expression marketed as “ultra-premium,” named Thomas S. Moore Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. These whiskeys have been finished in a variety of select casks from around the globe, with the first three expressions available on a limited release basis from December 2020 and all featuring wine casks, including chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon and Port. … The Port Cask is the deepest color of the trio, with a purplish hue in my glass with sticky legs hugging the inner glass. The nose is full of medium-tannin oak with fruit notes of raisins, musky raspberry and blackberry, and a buttery, nutty caramel swirl. The front palate exhibits sweet boysenberry, blueberry, and dried raisins.  A sweet homemade vanilla-cherry dominates the middle palate with hints of nutmeg, and oak spice. This finish is full of plum and berry preserves with a dry oak-spice ending. The Port Casks finished is a very good bourbon whiskey of which I will pursue to land a bottle on my shelf.

"The tall sophisticated bottles feature imagery that pays homage to the legacy of Thomas S. Moore. Each label displays the image of a racehorse standing tall, honoring one of Moore’s earliest whiskey brands, Belle of Nelson, named for the thoroughbred who won the Kentucky Oaks in 1878.”

Understandably limited.
