Very Old barton

Yup, it was mentioned in the bargain bourbon article in the last MA.

It will not be the first time a producer didn't follow my marketing advice.

Should we start hoarding "old" label VOB now?

Somehow I don't think it will be the last either...

I'm way ahead of ya!

Dude, relax don't do it, it'll always be around and in the meantime your palate will mature and you'll be asking yourself, "why do I have all this VOB bunkered.?"
You can thank me later.

Ha - I see your point, but this is good bourbon, and along with EW white label BIB, is a sensational bargain. A couple of cases of each are going in my stash.

I finished my 48th bottle of 2010 a few weeks ago. Where does it go? In other words, don't think that a couple of cases is going to last very long.

I don't think so, quality wise as far as ingrediants and the production and aging, yes.
But it just ain't got the taste.
Are you letting the low low price influence you?
It happens to the best of us.

I never mention price when I sample things out to friends or do tastings and VOB BiB always gets high marks.

I'm sure that is true because you said so.
I was only speaking of what I find it to be, not others.
I don't like VOB.

I have a VOB BIB from the mid-90's with no age statement. What's interesting about this label is they went to an age statement when many brands have done the opposite.

One thing I like about VOB is that it reminds me of the way lots of bourbons tasted years ago but few do now. That isn't necessarily a good flavor, objectively, I just happen to like it, but for what it is.

And, if you're a value-oriented, it's pretty hard to beat.
