Old Carter Bourbon Batch 17* Whiskey 750ml

Bottled uncut and straight from the cask at 117 proof, Old Carter Bourbon Batch 17 delivers a concentrated, unaltered Kentucky Straight Bourbon profile in a standard 750 ml format. Developed by Mark and Sherri Carter, the distillers who previously spearheaded the resurrection of Kentucky Owl, this expression is neither diluted nor chill-filtered, ensuring the complete oil and congener structure remains intact.

Old Carter blends each offering from a tightly controlled small lot, meaning Batch 17 captures the exact sensory signature of this specific maturation window. The aromatic profile leads with pronounced grain sweetness, featuring clear impressions of buttered waffles, liquid maple syrup, unbaked pie crust, and floral honey. The transition to the palate reveals a silky, fruit-forward body supported by well-integrated toasted oak and classic baking spices, extending into an extended, warming conclusion.

Frequent scarcity and limited allocation patterns characterize every Old Carter release, making this batch a direct-access acquisition rather than a speculative resale item. Pour the full 117 proof into a wide-topped nosing glass to evaluate the layering, or allow a single clear ice cube to melt slowly, gradually unlocking additional ester notes as the temperature drops.
