What a fucking delight it is to find this at a local store for under $50. I tend to shit on Barton products, whether it's the chase for the core lineup or the generally crappy sourced Barton, but at least Barton hasn't jacked up the prices of the 1792 lineup. Even if this was marked up to $60 or $70, which I've seen recently in other Kentucky stores, I still think it's an excellent buy. It's a great substitute for fans of ECBP or Old Forester SBBS with less oak influence and more sweet notes. Is this one of the best whiskeys I've drank in the last year? No. Is it the best whiskey I've had under $50 in a while? Definitely yes.
