Moore Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskeys, according to those behind them, consist of Barton 1792 bourbons with a high rye mash bill that have been finished for an extended period of time in a range of secondary cask types that previously matured various wines or spirits from around the world.

For 2020 the cask types chosen are a Port Finish, Chardonnay Finish and Cabernet Sauvignon finish.
