Oh what is wrong with me? I buy whisky with no chance? Oh well So bottle is stupid looking, thanks Nike designer. The butterfly is kinda cool, I guess? Or tacky? Anyway no value in the display, but props on the synthetic cork. nose - a good depth and body to the nose. Vanilla sweetness, clean oak, but the alcohol is still there in spades. I'll see how water works. Water makes the oak more clear and it's a nice oak. Taste - Barton is known for being clean but this isn't just barton. This remains super clean whisky but there's a depth and backbone to this one. It's rich and flavorful, but not complex. This is generic bourbon but there's a depth and mineral note on the back end. The focus is creamy and rich, but not spicy or that rich dark sugar's sweetness either. Water teases out more sweetness. This is good but I can't really describe it as it's barton, it's boring and yet good. Balanced and even is really what barton does. So score? Well the bottle is a 0, lol. Ok the bourbon? 2.5. Above average but lacking.
