Crafted for the curious and the connoisseur alike, True Story Straight Bourbon Finished in White Moscatel Casks blends timeless Kentucky bourbon tradition with the exotic charm of fortified Portuguese wine. Aged 5–6 years in charred American white oak barrels and then finished in White Moscatel casks for 3 to 6 months, this whiskey is a nuanced tale of balance and beauty. The floral, fruit-forward influence of Moscatel adds a distinctive twist—brightening the bourbon’s core of vanilla, caramel, and spice with soft florals and white orchard fruit.
It’s a whiskey that whispers of honeysuckle and honey, of classic oak and daring flair. At 90 proof, it’s both refined and approachable, ready to delight seasoned bourbon lovers and welcome new drinkers into the fold.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is Kentucky straight bourbon that spends 5 to 6 years in charred American white oak before a 3 to 6 month finish in White Moscatel casks, a nod to the fortified Portuguese wine. The finish doesn't bury the bourbon. Vanilla bean, dark caramel and baked spice stay at the center, while the Moscatel layers in pear, white peach and orange blossom over a nose of honeysuckle and honeyed white grapes. At 90 proof it sits in a comfortable place: enough backbone for a shaken cocktail, gentle enough that someone new to wine-finished whiskey can sip it neat and follow what the cask is doing. Seasoned bourbon drinkers who know the classic profile will find it a bright, floral counterpoint to their usual pour. We carry it because finished bourbons can tip into sweetness, and this one stays balanced, with clove and light pepper keeping the long, honeyed finish in check. It's an easy bottle to open with friends and talk about.
Pairs well with
- Pear and almond tart — The tart's baked pear and buttery crust echo the bourbon's pear, white peach and vanilla notes from the Moscatel finish.
- Honey-glazed roast pork — A honey and spice glaze picks up the whiskey's dark caramel, baking spice and honeyed fruit finish.
- Evening around a fire — The long, warm finish of honeyed fruit, oak and gentle clove makes it a natural slow sipper for storytelling outdoors.
Questions about this bottle

What does the White Moscatel cask finish add to the bourbon?
The Moscatel casks bring floral, fruit-forward character: honeysuckle and honeyed white grapes on the nose, and pear, white peach and a hint of orange blossom on the palate. These sit on top of a classic bourbon core of vanilla bean, dark caramel and baked spice rather than replacing it.

What's the best way to drink it?
What's the best way to drink it?
Neat shows off the interplay of Moscatel fruit and bourbon warmth. A splash of water brightens the fruit and softens the spice, and a large cube accentuates the floral notes. For a cocktail, try the Moscatel Gold Rush: 2 oz bourbon, ¾ oz fresh lemon juice and ½ oz honey syrup, shaken and served over ice.
What proof is it and what size is the bottle?
