Process & Profile

Old Carter Batch 18 — a small-batch straight bourbon bottled at barrel strength, 115 proof, in Louisville, Kentucky. The numbered batches are Old Carter's core line: a handful of mature barrels married toward a profile rather than one cask bottled alone. Even so, production runs small and every bottle is numbered by hand, which is why the batches get tracked individually rather than treated as one continuous product. At 57.5% ABV, Batch 18 is among the gentler Old Carter bourbons — the range climbs past 129 proof on some releases. That leaves more room for the caramel and vanilla to sit forwar

On the nose, current tasting notes highlight the characteristic profile of this expression, with layered aromatics and depth appropriate to its maturation and format.

On the palate, retail listings describe a balanced, full-bodied character, with the flavor profile typical of the producer's house style at this expression's age and proof.

The finish is described as long and rewarding, carrying the primary flavor components into a warm, satisfying close.
