"Made by Barton 1792 - a historic distillery that dates back to 1879 - this bourbon ranked number one on our ranking of Costco's Kirkland whiskeys. Because it's single-barrel, every drop comes from one cask. While you won't get the brand's oldest or most select barrels, you will get a high-quality whiskey bottled at 120 proof (60% ABV) with premium flavor and unbeatable value at just $30 for a 750-milliliter bottle."
"It's not just the price tag that makes this bottle a hit. You get a complex array of rich, layered notes. Our taste tester noted "plenty of smooth vanilla, luxurious caramel, and toasted oak, countered by Barton's signature rye spice and hints of nuts." On the palate, it's rich and full, with a warm finish. While our tester found it a bit strong to drink neat, it makes an excellent base for classic bourbon cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Manhattan."
Made by Barton 1792, a distillery dating to 1879, the Kirkland Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a single-cask, 120-proof (60% ABV) whiskey sold for about $30 per 750-milliliter bottle. The spirit delivers layered flavors of smooth vanilla, luxurious caramel, toasted oak, Barton's signature rye spice, and hints of nuts. The palate is rich and full with a warm finish. The high proof can be softened by letting the bourbon breathe, adding a splash of water, or an ice cube, which brings forward caramel and oak sweetness. The bourbon performs well neat by some and as a base for Old Fashioned or Manhattan cocktails.
