Thomas Moore - Madeira Cask Finish
Madeira aging has become a minor cult favorite cask finish in other spirit categories, but is especially rarely seen in Bourbon. Madeira is made in various styles ranging from dry to quite sweet, and for this edition of Thomas S. Moore, a spectrum of those casks were employed, from 2 to 4 years depending on the barrel. The result after blending is a Bourbon with a bright but subtle nose of stone fruits and tart berries.
Nose: Caramel, vanilla, oak, and a faint note of lemon zest. After a few minutes "husky" notes of sandalwood and crème brûlée take over.
Mouth: The adjective that first popped into my head was "Round.” There are no sharp edges to this. Notes of cinnamon, crème brûlée, and oak.
Finish: Medium to long. Notes of caramel, citrus zest, vanilla, and cinnamon.
