Old Carter Small Batch 15 rides in at 134.2 proof—hotter than a two-dollar pistol and twice as bold. This ain’t the whiskey you sip while doin’ your taxes; this is the kind you drink while starin’ into a campfire, contemplatin’ your life choices and hopin’ the coyotes keep their distance.

On the nose, it’s sweeter than Miss Ellie’s brown sugar pie, with a backbone of seasoned oak and a hint of dried apricot—like trail mix made by someone who owns a leather sofa and means it. The palate rolls in like a freight train: toffee, roasted hazelnuts, black tea, and spice, sittin’ heavy on a creamy saddle.

And the finish? Long, warm, and full of molasses, orange zest, and cracked pepper—like a cowboy poem whispered by a saloon ghost. Ain’t for the faint of heart, but if your boots are dusty and your soul’s thirsty, Batch 15’ll treat you just fine.
