Barton’s Gin is a value brand offered by the Kentucky distillery that is designed to specifications of “crisp, dry” taste. The 2010 Beverage Testing Institute somewhat differed with the “traditional dry” label and said instead, “Somewhat lacking in juniper, really more of a citrus flavored vodka, but tasty.” Then they said again in 2011, “Somewhat lacking in juniper.” This is good news for those looking for less juniper in their gin and more of a modern flavor.
