Old Carter Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 14 Year Barrel #1
117.6 proof 14 years Bourbon Old Carter Whiskey Co. Louisville, KY
Nose

Creamy caramel with smokiness characteristic of aged bourbon. No harsh ethanol bite despite proof. Beautiful nose that continues to aerate and develop as the glass empties.

Palate

Creaminess carries through to the front. Very viscous with nice sweetness. Spices appear on the back end with good balance and depth.

Finish

Slightly dry on the back end in a cigar-like way, showing wonderful age character.

Really good
A beautifully balanced 14-year single barrel that delivers complexity and richness without harsh edges, perfectly executing the master blenders' philosophy of creating depth worthy of a single-barrel release.
