Old Carter American Whiskey Batch 3
138.1 proof
12 years (mostly 15 years old)
American Whiskey
Old Carter Whiskey Co.
Nose
Honey, butter, and raisin with dried fruit character suggestive of Cognac.
Palate
Honeyed sweetness with baking spices reminiscent of Cinnabon and raisin toast with butter. Spice cake and caramel notes. Drinks lighter than its proof suggests despite the complexity.
Finish
Warming with baking spice and sweet notes that linger.
Overall Score
4.4 / 5
A dangerously smooth high-proof American whiskey with honeyed sweetness, baking spices, and dried fruit complexity that belies its near-Hazmat proof.
