Thomas S. Moore Bourbon Chardonnay Cask - 750ML

Proof-wise, this expression sits in the middle at 97.9 proof. Buttery caramel and orchard fruit meet a slightly mineral note on the nose. The fruit character here is more rounded. Taste-wise, this is a nice balance of caramel, spice, and baked apples. There’s a slightly buttery or oily character on the mouthfeel that coats the palate. A bit of toasted oak leads into the finish, which features lingering notes of buttery toffee and stewed apricot. 

A surprisingly complex Chardonnay finish, showing initial notes of brown butter and green apple, with hints of citrus and tropical fruit.
