Old Carter Bourbon Whiskey #93 13 Year Single Barrel 121 Proof

Old Carter Bourbon Whiskey Single Barrel #93 13 Year 121 Proof is a 2022-era release from Old Carter Whiskey Co. — the independent project of Mark and Sherri Carter, co-creators of Kentucky Owl. Single Barrel #93 is a 13-year Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at barrel strength 121 proof (60.5% ABV), non-chill filtered, with Sherri hand-labeling every bottle. Thirteen years in barrel puts this firmly in Old Carter's mature expression range — more oak and dried fruit depth than their 12-year batches, with the barrel strength keeping the full character completely intact.

Old Carter's 13-year single barrels occupy the sweet spot of their lineup: enough age to develop genuine complexity and deep oak integration, while still retaining the bourbon grain character that can fade in very long-aged expressions. At 121 proof, this is approachable for barrel-strength enthusiasts but benefits from 5 minutes of rest in the glass.
