This bourbon is one of four of Thomas S. Moore's "Extended Cask Finished" bourbons. Each bourbon in the series was aged for 5-6 years and then finished for an additional 1-4 years, this one in sherry casks.
The nose follows through with sweet caramel, butterscotch, and vanilla, while lavender pervades the edges. The finish has smokiness and a hint of leather.

House Review
Nose:
Heavy sweetness on the nose pairing blackberry jam, currants, stewed fruits and sweet oak with baking spice, vanilla cream and a hint of cinnamon.
Taste:
Rich palate, jammy sherry sweetness that complements the dry oak, heavy baking spice and toffee of the Thomas Moore.
Finish:
Long finish, good balance of sherry and oaky bourbon here, with notes of cherry, currant, blackberry and tobacco pairing with baking spice, heavy oak and a pop of toffee.
Overall:
Delicious sherried release that is balanced, bold, complex and easy to enjoy.
