Very Old Carter 27 Year Old American Whiskey

After aging 27 years, the yield is as low as you’d imagine, averaging less than 50 bottles per barrel. The proof will vary between the barrels as well, but they will be uncut and unfiltered (as is everything we’ve seen from Old Carter thus far).

“As soon as we discovered these rare 27-year old barrels, we knew that they were very special and we wanted to work with them,” says Old Carter Proprietress Sherri Carter, who founded the brand with husband Mark Carter earlier this year. “We knew we had to share them with the world soon, before the Angels took them all away! We chose to release these 27-year olds at barrel strength out of respect for their maturity and character, even though there are very few bottles in each barrel. This may be a once in a lifetime opportunity for us, and we are humbled to be able to experience it.”

Complex, aromatic, rich and nutty with chocolate, toffee wrapped in spice, and velvety soft sassafras. We are in love with the incredible richness that these barrels offer. You get a hint of their age, but they are youthful beyond belief.
