Non-chill filtered. Old Carter Straight Rye Batch 10 — the tenth documented batch of Old Carter's Kentucky straight rye program, by the founders of Kentucky Owl, at a proof point consistent with the series' approachable-but-concentrated rye range.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOld Carter Whiskey Co. was founded by Mark and Sherri Carter — the same team that built Kentucky Owl into one of the most celebrated allocated bourbon programs in Kentucky. Each Old Carter batch is numbered, documented, non-chill filtered, and bottled at natural proof without dilution. Batch 10 at 116.6 proof continues the Old Carter rye series in the 115–123 proof range that characterizes the rye program across Batches 10–14.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eNon-chill filtration retains the naturally occurring fatty acids and esters that chill filtration removes — compounds that contribute to a richer mouthfeel and more complete aromatic profile. At 116.6 proof, Batch 10 delivers the full Old Carter rye character: concentrated, unfiltered, small batch, and at a natural proof that allows the rye grain's specific character to express without the dominating alcohol intensity of the highest-proof bourbon batches.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rye grain spice, dried fruit, caramel, and vanilla at 116.6 proof natural concentration.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Concentrated and full — the non-chill filtered Kentucky straight rye delivering complete grain and barrel character uncompromised.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and spice-forward — rye grain warmth and spice through a satisfying close.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old Carter Whiskey Co., Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFounded by:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mark and Sherri Carter (creators of Kentucky Owl)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, Small Batch\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 116.6 (58.3% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBottling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-chill filtered\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBatch:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/rye\"\u003erye whiskey at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow does Batch 10 fit in the Old Carter rye series?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Old Carter rye program runs from Batch 10 through Batch 14 currently in the Wooden Cork inventory. Batch 10 (116.6 proof) is the lowest proof in the current rye inventory. Batches 11 (115.6) and 12 (116) are nearly identical in proof; Batch 14 (123 proof) is the highest-proof rye batch.

The bourbon batches (Batch 9 at 132.8, Batch 14 at 117) include significantly higher proof points. The rye's natural grain character expresses more prominently at these proof levels, producing a more grain-forward and less oak-dominated profile.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIs Batch 10 still available?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — available now.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e {   \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",   \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",   \"mainEntity\": [     { \"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How does Batch 10 fit in the Old Carter rye series?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": { \"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Batch 10 (116.6) is the lowest proof in the current Old Carter rye inventory.
