I found some Very Old Barton (henceforth VOB) 86 proof today. They release VOB 86, 90 and BIB/100 and maybe some others, these I've seen. It's a 'bottom shelf' bourbon these days after changing hands several times - but it's a pretty good buy. Used to be 6 years old when I started drinking it, usually 'only' 4 years old these days but I can vouch for that 86 proof @ 4 years being well worth the asking price. I seldom see it here in the Kansas 'burbs and won't tell you where I'm buying it (I want more, to heck with you guys) but I will recommend you start watching for it. The 86 is 'what I'm used to' - my daily pour is another 86 and this stuff 'tastes right'. But I used to drink more 90 and 100 proof whiskey, if you see any VOB 90 or 100 I'll recommend 'em both as being well worth their (low) asking price. VOB = VGB (very good buy).
