"Bourbon is a very special kind of spirit, and those who drink it often see it as a hobby as much as a preferred libation. While even the most novice bourbon drinkers have likely heard of Eagle Rare and Old Rip Van Winkle, there is another brand that could impress any connoisseur and give even the best of the best bourbons a run for their money."
"The price tag is hefty, though, with bottles typically going for a few hundred dollars, with some even being sold for nearly $500. But you'll get some good bang for your buck with this bourbon, because Old Carter has a notoriously high ABV. Once bottled, bourbon has to be at least 80-proof by law, but most Old Carter bottles hit well above that 100-proof marker, with some even as high as 140-proof."
Old Carter is a high-end Louisville-based bourbon brand founded by Mark Carter after his transition from wine to whiskey following his acquisition of Kentucky Owl in 2011 and its subsequent sale in 2017. The distillery has operated only a few years. Carter applies wine barrel-aging expertise and personal oversight to production. Old Carter bottles are known for high alcohol by volume, commonly exceeding 100-proof and reaching up to 140-proof. Prices are typically several hundred dollars per bottle and can approach $500. Old Carter is widely regarded for exceptional flavor, smooth drinkability, and strong appeal among connoisseurs and casual drinkers.
