There is nothing old or worn about the vibrancy and swathes of warm sweetness blended in the delicate tones of Old Carter 13 year old single barrel strength straight bourbon. This richly hued whiskey bathes you in a sea side carnival of flavor and sensual expressions that will not only take your breath away, but leave you panting for just one more quaff. The nose opens with a cacophony of sweetness – caramel mixed with rivers of melted milk chocolate, buttery vanilla cream cupcakes with chunks of peach and apricot fruits, all layered with a lasting impression of tall oak soaked in cloves and rosemary herbs. Hints of acai and cherry follow in soon after with just a whisper of exotic pineapple. Your tongue and cheeks will flush with appreciation as flavors of more butter cream whisked with vanilla and apricot douse your tastes along with hits of toasted oak planks seasoned with cinnamon. The finish is one full of more sweet tones hued in maple sugar and freshly baked fudge. This bourbon isn’t the kind to sit on the side lines – and you will pull her in as close as you can to the very last savory sip.
