Old Carter Whiskey Co. - Barrel Strength Bourbon Batch 3
At Old Carter Whiskey Co., we take pride in crafting exceptional whiskies that capture the essence of time-honored traditions. We will be releasing small batch, very small batch and single barrel expressions throughout the year as the barrels tell us when they are ready. Each expression is bottled at barrel strength without chill filtration, allowing you to experience the whiskey’s true character and spirit.
Our whiskies can now be found at select retailers, bars, and restaurants in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, and Washington DC.
Nose: As with most bourbon from Tennessee, the familiar scent of “sweet peanuts” is detected first. There’s also aromas of chocolate powder, cinnamon and fresh-baked banana bread with melted butter.
The scent of oiled olive wood utensils and rosemary add a sort of savory and herbal quality that is fascinating and draws me in deeper with every sniff. Traditional scents of baked apples and heavy caramel round out this complex and deep nose.
Palate: Saigon cinnamon, red pepper flakes and oak spice all combine to light the tongue on fire (but with flavor too). Exotic notes of plantain chips coated in a thick syrup are accompanied by lemon zest, apricots, peppery papaya, a hint of ripe strawberry.
