Old Carter Straight American Whiskey Barrel Strength Batch No 14 750 ML

Old Carter Straight American Whiskey Batch No. 14 is another barrel-strength release from Old Carter Whiskey Co., the independent bottler known for selecting aged barrels rather than distilling in-house. Bottled undiluted, it carries a higher alcohol content and a more concentrated flavor than standard-proof whiskey, with deep caramel, oak, and spice character built up over its time in the barrel. Like the rest of Old Carter's lineup, this is a small, limited batch, so the exact profile can vary somewhat from release to release — that batch variation is part of what collectors look for in the brand. Availability tends to be inconsistent given the limited nature of each release.

How to drink Old Carter Batch No. 14

Try it with a splash of water first to open up the aroma at barrel strength. Best sipped slowly and neat rather than mixed, so the batch's particular character comes through.
