Old Carter Rye Batch 10 rolls in at 116.6 proof—strong enough to put hair on your whiskey, let alone your chest. This ain’t no porch sippin’ lemonade, partner. It’s a rye with a backbone and a silver tongue.
Right off the bat, you get hit with candied orange peel and crème brûlée—like a campfire dessert cooked by a French outlaw with a sweet tooth. Then comes the candied bacon and toasted hazelnuts, ‘cause apparently this whiskey decided breakfast was all damn day.
There’s some leather in there too, like your saddle’s been soaked in good decisions and just a little bit of sin. The rye spice don’t buck too hard—it just rides along, steady and sure, like a good horse that knows when to gallop and when to glide.
The finish? Well, it ain’t a thunderstorm, but it’s a good slow rain—warm, smooth, and just long enough to tip your hat to. If you like your whiskey sweet, spicy, and dressed like Sunday supper in a dusty saloon, Batch 10’s got your name on it.
