Wolcott
90 Proof
Rye Bourbon
Barton 1792
$30
51% corn, rye bourbon
Nose
Nice vanilla nose with a little bit of alcohol and oak present. Light nutty character with pear notes from barley and cherry.
Palate
Vanilla and oak packed, cherries coming through. Not super rich, more center of the road bourbon. Decent body for 90 proof, good middle of the road character.
Finish
A little drying with some alcohol upfront and a drying effect on the back end.
Overall Score
3.5 / 5
Solid, versatile middle-of-the-road bourbon that works neat or mixed at a reasonable $30 price point.
