They source and select mature Kentucky whiskey rather than distilling it, and every release goes out at barrel strength, non-chill filtered, with the barrel and bottle numbers written on the label by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBarrels #54 and #55 came out of the same run at identical strength — both 58.85% ABV, both 117.7 proof — which almost never happens with single casks and makes the pair unusual to see together. They are still two separate barrels with two separate yields, and the whiskey in each is its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich caramel and vanilla, then brown sugar, toasted oak, dark fruit and warm baking spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-bodied and concentrated — dark caramel, toffee, vanilla and brown sugar, with dried fruit, cinnamon and seasoned oak building behind them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, warming and persistent, with lingering caramelized sugar, vanilla, oak and baking spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old Carter Whiskey Co.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single barrel, barrel strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 54\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 117.7 (58.85% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 57 of 150\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottled in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExplore the full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/old-carter\"\u003eOld Carter collection\u003c\/a\u003e or browse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow limited is barrel #54?\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 bottles in total.
