Old Carter American (Batch #6) 13 year 750 ml

Old Carter American Whiskey Batch #6 is a 13-year, barrel-strength release from the Old Carter Whiskey Co., the small-batch label run by Mark and Sherri Carter. American whiskey is the broad category here, a blend of aged straight whiskeys rather than a single bourbon or rye, and thirteen years in oak gives it real weight. Bottled uncut at barrel strength, so the proof runs high and shifts from batch to batch; expect caramel and dark dried fruit up front, then oak, baking spice, and a leathery, tannic close. Each batch is small and individually numbered, so no two drink quite alike. This is a neat pour for a patient night, and a few drops of water tame the heat and coax the older character forward.
