Very Old Barton 100 Proof Bourbon

Old fashioned

Nose: cinnamon, caramel Taste: over the top red hots candy - once I identified that I couldn’t taste anything else. Overall it’s got a shiny metallic aspect that makes it seem young despite the 4+ years aspect of being a BiB Finish: the candy cinnamon lingers with maybe a bit of chocolate, finish doesn’t last long After reading reviews: people apparently find complexity here that I just don’t after several attempts, while others note the cinnamon it’s not to the overwhelming degree that I experience it, I imagine it mixes well with coke but didn’t get a chance to try

On the noise I get bubble gum, baking spices, corn sweetness. On the palate I get caramel, apple and some raspberry, like a prominent red fruit, rye spice. I get a medium finish for how thin the body of it is. Some grainy notes at the end. But for $15, this is great!
