History
Barton Brands was established, just after the repeal of prohibition in 1933, by Oscar Getz and Lester Abelson from Chicago. In 1944 they acquired a whiskey/bourbon facility in Bardstown, Kentucky called the Tom Moore Distillery - today this is still owned by Sazerac, and is known as the Barton 1792 Distillery. Oscar Getz was a keen collector of whiskey memorabilia and this collection is housed today in the Oscar Getz Museum in Bardstown.
Barton Brands Ltd. and the Barton Distillery Co. were acquired in 2009 by Sazerac Company Inc. – an independent family owned business.

Tasting Notes
Clear. Delightfully attractive citrus zest aromas. Smooth and silky on the palate, and could well be compared to London Extra Dry styles. Perfect for a martini. The crisp, dry taste that gin drinkers prefer.
On the nose is citrus (lemon). On the palate, this medium bodied spirit continues to display a strong citrus flavor. It is smooth for a product at this low a price and sure to be a winner with low budget requirements.

Light rum (also known as "silver" or "white" rum), is a dry light-bodied rum, light in color and lightly sweet in flavor. It is produced from sugarcane juice and molasses, and normally has a short distillation period. Unlike other various rums which are aged in charred oak casks, light rum is simply aged in plain oak casks or stainless steel tanks, so it remains clear. Light rum is often the favored choice of rum for cocktails and other mixed drinks

Under the strict manufacturing standards, vodka would have a rough taste if it is distilled less than three times, but if it is distilled more than four times, it would have a smooth, complex fine taste. Vodka's quality is determined by how many times it has been distilled, and what type of filtering process it went through.
​
Unlike other house brands, Barton Vodka is famous for its high quality, as it goes under four times of distillation and several filtering process through birch charcoal. Barton Vodka is dominating the cocktail market in price, quality, and satisfaction. That is why Barton Vodka is the worldwide best seller as a cocktail base.
