They don't operate a distillery; they source and select mature Kentucky whiskey, and everything goes out at barrel strength with no chill filtration. Sherri hand-labels the bottles, which is why the barrel number, bottle number, ABV and proof are written by hand on the front of this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe single barrel line is the narrowest part of the range — one cask, no blending, no dilution. Thirteen years sits above Old Carter's 12-year batch releases, with the extra oak depth that implies and the individual barrel's character left completely intact at 63.1% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark caramel, vanilla bean, toasted oak, brown sugar and concentrated dark fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and powerful — caramelized sugar, vanilla, seasoned oak, baking spice and hints of dried cherry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming, with lingering oak, caramel, spice and sweet vanilla.\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, non-chill filtered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 61\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 126.2 (63.1% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 117 of 175\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\u003eWho makes Old Carter whiskey?\u003c\/strong\u003e Mark and Sherri Carter, the Napa winemakers behind Carter Cellars who resurrected Kentucky Owl and sold it in 2017.
