FAQ:
Q: Is this a bourbon or a rye?
A: It’s a straight American whiskey, which means it can include blends of different styles (bourbon, rye, etc.) but is not labeled as either. It highlights richness and balance over specific mashbill categories.
Q: Is it rare?
A: Yes—Old Carter batches are small and highly allocated, with each batch offering a unique, one-time blend.
Q: Should I sip this or use it in cocktails?
A: This is 100% a sipper—best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up the layers.
Q: Is this the same as Old Carter Bourbon or Rye?
A: No—this is a separate line of American Whiskey blends. Each label (bourbon, rye, American whiskey) reflects a different flavor focus.
