Old Carter Straight Rye Whiskey Batch 14 123 Proof

Old Carter Straight Rye Whiskey Batch 14 is the fourteenth release in Old Carter's Straight Rye series — a small batch rye from Mark and Sherri Carter, the founders behind both Kentucky Owl and Old Carter Whiskey Co. Bottled at barrel strength 123 proof (61.5% ABV), non-chill filtered, with Sherri hand-labeling each bottle in their signature style. Old Carter's rye releases are among the most underrated in their catalog — overshadowed by the bourbon line in collector circles but consistently delivering high quality at meaningful proof levels.

Old Carter's rye mashbills are sourced from select Kentucky and Tennessee distilleries, with each batch blended and bottled when the Carters determine the barrels are ready — not on a calendar-driven schedule. Batch 14 brings the characteristic Old Carter approach to rye: concentrated, barrel-strength intensity with complexity that rewards patience in the glass.
