Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |

BARTON DISTILLING |
Medium golden amber colour. Very spicy, faintly sweetish, plum-caramel nose with some faint peppery notes. Fairly dry, medium bodied, bright, tangy, ripe, plummy, caramel flavours with a lingering, crisp, cedary, faintly peppery finish. This new bottling with 16.85% alcohol and with lot number K17045 on the lower part of the glass bottle is a REPEAT that last appeared in Vintages (**+) on January 21, 2017 at $49.95 and was an Explorer Selection. |

TASTING NOTE: A high rye component adds peppery lift to the predominant and sweeter corn in this bourbon, formerly named Ridgemont Reserve. But this is a rich, creamy spirit at its core. Brown sugar, butter, toffee, apple pie and licorice come through on a velvety texture. It carries the (precisely measured) 46.85-per-cent alcohol well, thanks to its depth of flavour. Score - 94 (Beppi Crosariol, The Globe and Mail, Jan. 17, 2017) |
