Old Carter Small Batch PLDC #6 Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Old Carter Small Batch PLDC #6 delivers undiluted Kentucky character at barrel strength, capturing the full complexity of a highly restricted regional release. Produced in a run of just 839 bottles, this 750ml Kentucky Straight Bourbon was allocated exclusively for the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Delaware. Bottled at 116 proof and processed neither through chill filtration nor artificial coloring, the spirit preserves its natural viscosity and aromatic compounds directly from the aging cask.

The profile begins with a concentrated nose blending caramel, honey, plums, raisins, and tanned leather over distinct rickhouse musk and charred oak. Rye grain and warm spice anchor the attack, giving way to cinnamon, marshmallow, and dried dark fruits across the mid-palate. The experience terminates in a heavy, coating mouthfeel with an extended finish that rewards patience or precise dilution with a few drops of water to fracture the barrel-proof resistance.

Developed by Old Carter Whiskey Co., founders Mark and Sherri Carter applied their extensive beverage backgrounds to refine Kentucky distillation after revitalizing Kentucky Owl in 2011. This PLDC designation marks a tightly controlled collaboration using Lexington Park Distillers Cooperative mashes, locked down before distribution to guarantee traceability. Collectors verify provenance through the stamped proof and exclusive state routing, while experienced drinkers appreciate the unadulterated cask expression that requires zero masking. Distribution remains strictly limited to authorized Mid-Atlantic merchants, and once these 839 units rotate through inventory, the release closes permanently.
