Old Carter Bourbon Whiskey Batch #12

Old Carter Bourbon Whiskey Batch #12 110.8 Proof is a small batch release from Old Carter Whiskey Co. — founded by Mark and Sherri Carter, co-creators of Kentucky Owl. Batch #12 is part of Old Carter's flagship straight bourbon line, sourced from multiple Kentucky distillery barrels, blended and bottled at barrel strength when the Carters determine the blend is ready. At 110.8 proof (55.4% ABV), Batch #12 is in the moderate range of Old Carter proof points — one of the more approachable expressions in their catalog while still delivering the concentrated richness the brand is known for. Non-chill filtered, with Sherri hand-labeling every bottle.

Batch #12 was released as the brand's collector following was well-established and allocation had tightened considerably from earlier batches. By this point in the lineup, Old Carter was one of the most actively tracked small-batch American whiskey programs among collectors and retailers.
