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 Awards.
