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.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOld 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.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark caramel, toasted oak, vanilla, dried fruit, leather, warm baking spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and layered — toffee, cinnamon, charred barrel, dark cherry, oily mouthfeel from extended aging\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and complex, oak spice fading to dark fruit and warming sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eKentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Single Barrel\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eProducer\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eOld Carter Whiskey Co., Kentucky\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eBarrel\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e#93\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eAge\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e13 Years\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eProof\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e121 (60.5% ABV)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eFiltration\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eNon-chill filtered, barrel strength\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat makes Old Carter single barrels different from their batch releases?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eOld Carter's batch releases blend multiple barrels chosen for a specific target flavor profile. Single barrels like #93 come entirely from one cask — nothing is blended or adjusted. The result is a completely unique expression that will never be exactly replicated. It's the reason collectors track individual barrel numbers across Old Carter's catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eHow does the 13-year age affect the flavor versus Old Carter's 12-year batches?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe extra year in barrel increases oak integration, deepens tannin structure, and pushes the dried fruit and dark chocolate notes further forward. It's not a dramatic leap, but at barrel strength the additional time is clearly perceptible — Single Barrel #93 is noticeably more serious and wood-forward than the 12-year batch expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eIs Old Carter bourbon the same as Kentucky Owl?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eRelated but completely separate.

Old Carter is their independent successor — smaller scale, more hands-on, with every label personally hand-written by Sherri.
