Shittiest Vodka but I love Dr. Barton’s! I would pick it over anything everytime. I’m a broke college student and I got used to it goes down like water now.

I go through 1.75 liters of this stuff every nine days. Never a hangover. Put it in the fridge. It`s much better chilled. I take two mouthfuls a night (7oz.) and chase it with iced tea. Been doing it for years and I still have most of my liver.

So most of these reviews are either insane, it’s all either folks saying “if you drink anything but top shelf vodka you are dumb” or “WOO COLLEGE! GET RIPPED!” Both those views are fine I guess, but here’s something from a middle-income 30-something who mostly lays low at home but still gets together with old friends to get drunk and play some cards or video games. I don’t know if I’m Barton’s target market but I do drink it occasionally.

I’m rating it a 3. Why? Well, if you were drinking it straight, or in a martini, I’d give it a 1. It’s pretty bitter, and I wouldn’t recommend serving it as a shot. But in a mixed drink, I’d rate it a 4. Damn good, not the best, but barely noticable, and a lot of the bitterness is covered up by the mixer. So that’s an average of 2.5, and I’m rounding up due to the insanely low price point.

Look, for a mixed drink, premium spirits are a waste. You could step your game up a notch to Svedka, or a couple notches to Stoli or Skyy. Any more than that, and you’re wasting money in any cocktail besides a martini. Barton isn’t fancy but it doesn’t lag far behind the top guys in terms of drinkability. So it’s your call. It isn’t the best, but if you’re looking for a cheap brand for mixing, you could do way worse than Barton.

For whatever it’s worth I’ve seen various comments on stomach aches or bad hangovers with Barton and that has not been my experience, any more than any other spirit. And to the guy who had seven shots and didn’t feel it: dude, you have a problem and you need help.

A bang for your buck. Known among friends as “Satan’s Fiery Semen”, but we drink it anyway. Truly packs a punch. God’s Gift to the broke college student. Can’t go to a frat party without seeing at least 10 bottles of this or seeing it poured into the vats of jungle juice we so barbarically ravage. Plus, if you’re lucky enough to consume this heavenly nectar in the form of our beloved JJ, you won’t even have to taste! Thumbs up for Mr. Barton and 5 Stars from me!!!

I’m a vodka connoisseur and Barton is top notch. I would definetly recommend this to a person who enjoys the fruit of life. Barton’s isn’t just a vodka it’s a way of life. It easily ranks with if not better than that of grey goose and ciroc.

Thanks Barton’s
P.s. Hit that shit brah!

Barton’s is a literal gift from Christ. We are truly blessed to be drinking from the life-giving fountain of Mr. Barton. I have never felt more like an American than when I’ve drank this fine spirit.

This is crack cocaine of all liquors. Do try to mix with some juice it’s a lot smoother but that’s with any vodka. The only problem with it is that you can’t bring this kind of vodka to a club or a good event. You will look bad. Cheers getting twisted.

The best vodka I’ve ever had, better than goose, belvedere, absolut, and Smirnoff, they don’t compare!

Barton’s – a gem in the rough! A diamond at that, the best vodka ever made!!!

Real drinkers recognize !!!

I can walk down the street and buy 1.75 liters of this vodka for twelve dollars. If you like booze you’ll like barton vodka. It doesn’t taste good though. But you’ll certainly like the feeling of ethanol in your brain, if you like being really drunk. If you like being a little drunk, but want a bottle to last a long time. Bartons! If your trying to kill yourself for as little money as possible? Chug a bottle of Bartons!

If you are a poor college student this is the way to go. If you cant drink it straight grow a pair it really isn’t that bad… Just be careful how much you drink its more potent than you think

I love. Vodka and as far as Barton’s goes it’s rough straight or in a Martini but this makes for a great punch or mixed drinks. Had no hangover, and really mixes well. I drink Stoli or Ketel One if I am drinking Martinis or a light mixer like sprite. And if you have the time run this through a brita filter 2 or 3 times and it seriously gets rid of the bitter taste

I drink about a gallon of Bartons every 3 days and have for years. Never have a hang over. Bartons truly is the nectar of the gods
“Drink hard liquor, Lick hard drugs”- Neil Lewis

This stuff costs $3.49 for a 175 mL bottle at my local liquor store. Cheapest stuff they got (not counting those little mini bar bottles). Buy this almost all the time, ’cause I’m a “budget drinker”. I drink it straight, right from the bottle. And this stuff is rough. Gives me goosebumps every time I take a shot. And I almost always have to fight the urge to vomit. But if you’re trying to get drunk on less than 5 bucks. Then Barton is your go to Vodka. Usually half of a 175 mL 80 proof bottle is enough to get me feeling good.

This stuff is simply the finest I’ve ever had the pleasure of flavoring. Barton’s vodka I’d have to say is much better than grey goose for example. And the price? How could you ignore that? It’s good vodka in it’s simplest and purest form.

Good and not alot of prices

Tastes like Tito’s with an aftertaste that’s rough as a night in jail. Cheap, powerful,and does the trick!

This is way better than any vodka by far. Not anyone’s favorite”because it’s bottom shelf” but it’s my number 1 go to vodka. Never get a hang over. All the other “top shelf” vodkas alway leave me feeling horrible the next day. Just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it’s bad. Best vodka ever and I will always buy Barton’s vodka over any other vodka anytime.

Barton’s is an adequate vodka at an incredible price. When taken as a shot it starts out very smooth but finishes extremely harsh definitely requiring a chaser. The taste is almost completely ethanol and it burns immensely going down. But where Barton’s really shines is in a mix drink. It goes down flawlessly and very smooth, as if, it weren’t even there. Next thing you will know,your flying to the moon. Dancing in a sea of galaxies. Make sure to use it with Sarah’s 100 percent real orange juice for your super, supreme, ultimate screwdriver experience.

Charcol filteted is ok but i had better tasting vodka. I think Wodka Vodka tastes best for the price. If your local ABC store dont stock it, maybe ask them. Its better than Bartons.

Outstandingly mediocre, but to each his own.

I’ve tried several Vodkas,Russian, the big “S” and others. Barton is outstandingly mediocre but the price makes up for it. I drink it in an extra dry martini and it is OK. To each his own.

There is definitely a bitter, less appealing taste to Bartons, but if you’re having a party and need several handles to inject into water melons or make a big bowl of punch, then Bartons will have nobody knowing the difference from a 2x price vodka. Obviously, if you are looking to enjoy a martini, then you have enough sense to spend a few more duckets for at least Smirnoff. As far as top shelf goes, Soli is the best, several blind taste tests among friends proves it every time, no need for a $50 bottle

Glorious. This was my first drink ever. After 44 years of life abstaining, this was a warm welcome into the drinking world. I drank a bunch: probably 2.5 shots of the crazy nectar and I’ve got nothing but thumbs up for this glory sauce. GO BARTON !

Best when mixed unless you want to taste the b omb ness drink straight Bart ons out the bottle superior taste i pick over gray goose any day

It sounds as though most of these reviews were written by members of the same Fraternity pledge class.
Perhaps they are (or were until they drank themselves out of school?) from a business school and this was
a pledge project. The silliness of it cheapens the otherwise accurate comments.

Well I just gotta say, as a Utahn, (In utah the beer here isn’t above 3.2%) I really appreciate this Vodka for the fact that it’s just a very “base” drink. I prefer whiskey and bourbon, I don’t drink anything not made in America. Red whit and blue is the way to go. Bourbon is an American drink at best… That being said,
This Vodka is american made and being here in Utah and all, it’s great actually for mixing with beer. Strange thing to say, right? You don’t mix liquor and beer cause it ruins the liquor, right?
Well, with this vodka – you actually can. Drinking it straight is only if your pure goal is getting drunk, and it’s great for mixes. Because of it’s lick of anything else exciting to do with it, you can blend it in beer to make the content higher. I think that’s pretty damn awesome. And drinking it straight is the biggest punch you’ll get that goes down the easiest way possible.
It’s not a drink that goes all that well by itself, it’s more of a very useful utility drink. Great for if you’re out of beer and other liquor and you need a little more to get that buzz and stuff.
It’s a must have, honestly. It’s cheap but you’ve gotta have it.

It burnt my chest…the taste is harsh but it is cheaper and I have no choice…I rather have Flechmeins…Do not recommend this volka and I have been drinking volka all my life and I am 55yo. Have a good one on me.

Getting back into vodka drinking after a long hiatus. In the past, I usually went for Absolut, Stoli, or Ketel One (especially when trying to impress the crowd). Recently I’ve come to enjoy Sobieski, Finlandia, and Burnett’s. Svedka and Dark Eyes produce headaches/hangovers for me,and Skyy tastes weird so I avoid them. Barton is a mediocre choice, as is the case with Barton Whiskey. It’s definitely nothing impressive, and you had best have a mixer..it isn’t smooth.

My current favorite for this price range is Burnett’s, which is very smooth and have yet to get a hangover…beats the hell outta Barfton and is the same price @12.99
1.75 Liter

Very cheap. $10 for a 1.75 liter. 40% abv.

Compared it side by side with smirnoff (which just tastes like ethanol) and it has a relatively unpleasant profile with notes of sulfur and ammonia.

This difference isn’t really noticeable unless you put them side by side, the flavor is around 95% ethanol, like any vodka should be.

No issues with hangovers or unusual effects.

It mixes well, don’t see any difference between it and a 20 or 30 dollar vodka when mixed.

With vodka if you’re going to mix it, you should always aim for the best value unless you like wasting money. Whisky, other spirits with flavor, are a different story. If you want to drink it like a russian, you should spend a few more dollars for smirnoff or a low-mid shelf $15 bottle that doesn’t taste like urine.

The most worst vodka or alcohol that I’ve ever had. Every time I drink 1/2 -1 fifth of this crap (mix drink or not), I wake up the next morning feeling like I’m dying!!! I have a huge headache and sleepiness, my stomach feels like it’s been ripped apart by drinking glass.. Also, I get very nauseated, diahrea, gas, bad body pains and aches, and weakness. It feels as if this crap “dries out” my joints and causes severe knee and other joint pains. I don’t vomit though, thank God. All of this, even when I drink water and eat both before, and after drinking… My recommendation is to NOT touch it at all. If you’re broke or want/need to wait til payday, go sober or please, PLEASE, buy at least Popov or anything else!

I love your vodka! I’ve been gluten free for 9 weeks and was t to stick with it. But I found this bottle in my cabinet! Can I have a little? What grain is used?

One of the worst vodkas ever to be sold Don’t listen to any of the 4 or 5 star rankings, pulling your chain lol. Look I’m all for cheap vodka, thats all I ever buy. There’s plenty of other cheap options out there. This stuff goes for 14 for the 1.75 near me. Taaka goes for 10-12 near me in the same size. The difference is you can drink and drink Taaka and it won’t burn a hole in your stomach. After 3 strong drinks Barton has almost a painful effect. Even Kavlana goes for 10.50 for the same size at Bevmo and it’s still better.

I’m new to drinking Vodka. Champagne/ tequila all the way. I bought some cheap Vodka at the booze-store for a cheap mixer. Got some stuff called Barton. It taste like water filtered through my Sketching supplies. 40% alc, but if you must drink it, mix that shit with some pineappple juice, or anything sweet. Or better yet, skip this. Maybe if you’re broke? Or want to legally murder a friend?

First off most of you must be kidding with your high ratings. We drank this stuff in high school and it was pretty bad. Vodka is pretty rough stuff period but if you do buy top shelf it is much better than bartons. You really do get what you pay for. Drink bourbon or ipa…

Ive drank about 7 shots of a 750ml bottle and dont have a buzz. I dont recommend.

Worst piece of shit ever. Gives me immediate headache and doesnt even get me drunk. Dont buy this nasty shit! Fucking disgusting.

we drank this a lot in college (big suprise, right?). we did a mystery shot party one night where you took 2 shots when you walked into the room – one was barton’s run through a brita water filter and the other was absolut – and barton’s through a brita won 60% of the vote. i found barton’s through a brita to be less bitter and significantly cheaper than any other name-brand vodka.

i personally am not a huge fan of vodkas but the more expensive brands seem to be worth there buck instead of the “bottom shelf” brands

Asian Bistro in town uses this cheap stuff in their overpriced drinks. They have all the nice top shelf stuff on the bar for show. Barton sucks

Smedly Smedly doesn’t normally drink lowlife vodka’s such as this Bartons brand. brands such as these are only for welfare recipients like you see in the run down neighborhoods. Bartons isn’t for superior living persons with sophisticated pallets such as the posters in this topic. therefore i would say if it doesn’t cost $50 a bottle, should we even be talking about it here ? Mozzletoff to all my fellow top shelf party pallet people.
