Very Old Barton 100pf 750
| Description: | History,. Very Old Barton is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey produced in Bardstown, Kentucky and aged 4 or 6 years by the Sazerac Company at its Barton Distillery.[1] It is bottled in 80-, 86-, 90- and 100-proof (us) expressions. The 100-proof expression was once age stated at 6 years and bottled-in-bond, but those designations have been progressively removed as they have moved to blending younger whiskey. Tasting notes: "Rich, tawny amber hue. Lean woody aroma. A firm attack leads to a medium bodied palate with a drying woody character. Dry, warm finish.". Jim Murray's Whisky Bible has given Very Old Barton 80 Proof a 90.5 rating.[2] On February 16, 2011, Very Old Barton 100 Proof tied with Evan Williams "Black Label" as "Best Buy Whisk(e)y of the Year" in the 17th Annual Whisky Advocate[3] Whisky Award. Tasting Notes,. Nose: Potent, with a pronounced nose tickle. Sticky caramel apple, light fruity notes of fruit punch, green banana, and tart cherry. Palate: Red apple skins, tannic oak, tart but dry oaky sugars, toasty corn, and cherry syrup (no longer tart). Dry, but with good balance. Finish: Medium length. Warming, slightly sweet but muddled, with unclear flavors from the palate. A little bitterness (bitter herbs) develops, and the finish becomes more dry before fading. |
