Old Carter Straight American Whiskey 12 Year Small Batch #1 134.9 Proof

12 years. Batch 1. 134.9 proof. Old Carter Straight American Whiskey — the founding 12-year aged single barrel from Mark and Sherri Carter’s Old Carter program, the inaugural release at this age statement, predating the numbered batch program that followed.

Old Carter Batch 1 at 12 years is the founding expression of what would become one of American craft whiskey’s most respected small batch programs. The Carter family’s background building Kentucky Owl informed their approach: non-chill filtered, natural proof, numbered batches from exceptional aged American whiskey inventory.
