I’ve had the 86 proof and was excited to find what I thought was the Bottled In Bond version that’s seemed to have disappeared. Well it’s back, sort of. No more Bottled In Bond marking, just 100 proof. On the nose I get dusty charred rye, black pepper and vanilla. The sort of classic Barton/1792 nose. I get more freshly baked bread (yeast) on later nosings. The palate has charred oak, vanilla, that dusty rye and some slight bitterness. The finish is on the long side of short. Some rye and oak poke out at the beginning and then it ends with a slight tingle and some sweet vanilla. Not bad. Definitely more full bodied than the 86 proof version, that one seems almost watered down in comparison. Though the 1792 Single Barrel that I have is marginally better than this 100 proof Very Old Barton. Which I think is a reason why people see so much value in this one. At about 1/3 of the cost, it’s gets you fairly close.
