My local store just brought in Very Old Barton. Same deal-Trace mashbill, used to be labeled 6 years old but no longer...but its still 100 proof and 12 bucks and VERY drinkable.
People here in Va line up on delivery day for Trace and Eagle Rare. Its crazy. Bowman Brothers sits on the shelves - it's "Virginia" bourbon but its Trace distillate shipped over here and aged in a facility they own here in Va. Its about 10 bucks more than Eagle Rare, but its very good and available.
