Old Carter Barrel Strength Very Small Batch No. Bourbon, Batch No. PLDC-4, Old Carter Whiskey Co., 62.5%

The caramel and baking spice give this bourbon a clear, warming character, while cinnamon apple and brown sugar add a softer side. It sounds rich and approachable, though quite bold at 62.5% ABV.
