Thomas S. Moore Chardonnay Cask Finished Bourbon

Fried Apples in butter. Pecans. Brown sugar. Pepper. Light on the nose, heavy on pallet.

Nose is pretty mild but doesn't smell sweet or "corny" but with a single drop of water it really opened up. Taste is still pretty spicy but that drop of water sweetened it up quite a bit. Overall taste is kind of dry.

Aftertaste like the smell of Bradford pear trees. Not good. Up front, very nice but once you swallow, nope

The chardonnay sort of blends a lot of the flavors together but I don't get the off putting finish that others do.

Decent. Lighter and fresher than the Cab finish. Funky aftertaste, though.
