Very Old Barton Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Very Old Barton Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Bourbon that meets these requirements and that has been aged for a minimum of at least two years may be called straight bourbon. Very Old Barton is a Kentucky straight bourbon that has been matured for an average of four to six years in charred, American oak casks before being bottled at 100 proof. As a result, the bourbon has a rich amber color along with an aroma of vanilla beans and chewy leather. Notes of rich caramel, nougat, rye spices and toffee dominate the palate, and lead to a bold finish. The bourbon was named one of the "Best Budget Bourbons" by Serious Eats and "Best Buy Whiskey of the Year" by Whisky Advocate.
