Very Old Barton 100 Proof Bourbon

Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

Reviewed June 10, 2022
3.25
3.25 out of 5 stars
This is another in my quest to find a bourbon comparable in value to Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. And that quest so far remains fruitless. This bourbon is surprisingly weak in all respects for being 100 proof. The nose is barely there, mostly honey and vanilla, just a bit of spice. The palate is more honey, a pleasant sweet and doughy character, more vanilla, and gentle spice. Sort of a graham cracker vibe. The finish is the same honey and a bit of tanginess. This is perfectly drinkable and enjoyable. I wouldn't call it watery, but overall it has a very light feel to me. The flavors are thin, but in a way that's pleasantly gentle rather than annoyingly weak. I find the Distiller flavor graph and review quite puzzling, as for me sweetness is the predominant flavor here and spice is very minimal. "Rich" and "full" are not words I would use to describe this. At only $15 it is worth trying. But I probably won't get this bottle again. Because we all know what else costs only $15. . .
