Very Old Barton 100 Proof Bourbon

Belated. Abbreviated notes: Thin. Light vanilla nose with noticeable peanuts. Hints of banana. No complaints.

All around solid bottle at a fantastic price point

Nose... Picking up a light citrus note and leather. Almost pine tree like. Definite touch of alcohol. Appearance... Medium to darker gold, a tinge of amber. Taste... The oily profile is real which was a nice first touch in my opinion. This is followed by an initial burst of ethanol. After that a bit of seasoned wood and pepper with a slight pear note. Overall... This is a true bust. Nothing special at all. The nuance is lost behind the proof which is a shame since that isnt necessary. Plenty of high proof have flavor and complexity. This is just standard whiskey, and sure it has some decent flavors, in general though it's only a $20 and under at most. Anything above $20 is a scam. Not home bar worthy in the least bit....

0-1: Beyond bad. Complete waste of money according to my tastebuds. 2: Bad. Simply not my taste 2.5: Sub-par. Ill drink it... but only because its whiskey. 3: Good. Decent stuff, but not a rebuy 3.5: Very good. I might buy again 4: Excellent: Will be purchasing a bottle asap 4.5: Incredible: top of the purchase list 5:Amazing: cost and taste are worth every cent
