B3Nut Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I'm on my second bottle of this stuff only recently having tried it. I don't have a lot of experience with the Barton juice aside from a couple rounds with VOB 80 and BIB, but I really don't remember much about either of them (I think it might have been the 80 proof VOB that was giving me peaches on the nose I think? It was strange though interesting...but anyway...) For around $22 for a 750 I'm quite impressed with it, and I think it's going to be another constant on the shelf. Been getting a consistent dark fruit note on the nose and palate that I really like. Maybe this could be called Slightly Older Barton (SOB)? All joking aside, I really like this whiskey...just something really satisfying about it. Decent spicy finish that hangs on a bit, too...digging it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like it better than VOB. I would recommend other 1792 offerings if you can find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 There is much to like about this bourbon. Packaging, quality whiskey, and great price. I always have one on the bar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 It's one of those pours that just tastes exactly like what a classic bourbon should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedelstaedt Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) When I find a Bourbon/Rye that suits my taste buds, is reasonable in price & readily available, I do a happy dance. Edited May 1, 2021 by Wedelstaedt Rearranged pic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, your post is what prompted me to “bump” the Bourbon Zen thread. So, thank you too. Biba! Joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went back and read the first page. Hard to believe that was written almost 8 years ago and that the intent of the post is even more relevant now by a huge margin as the trajectory of the boom continues to point up steeply. Also fun to see some old names that I don't see any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
