Old Carter Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey Aged 12 Years - Barrel 20 117.8 Proof (750ml)

The finish on this starts sweet and gets richer and deeper caramel as it sits with you. It’s not a super thick and creamy mouthfeel and finish, but it still stays with you with a very light tingle and burn that’s quite pleasant. This one was a tad lighter on the palate, although the light caramel on the nose develops into slightly deeper caramel on the palate. 

This has notes of banana and cherry that are prominent. The cherry is more of a stewed dark cherry rather than a bright cherry.  It’s lightly herbaceous with light rye spices. Light caramel and butterscotch, with hints of cedar. Touch of ethanol comes through.

Color: Burnt Copper

Nose: Nutmeg, buttered biscuits, lemon and orange citrus notes are immediately recognizable. The nose is quite beautiful and filled with wonderful classic bourbon notes and very little alcohol burn.

Palate: Burnt maple, candied cherries, chocolate, caramel, toasted cinnamon, toffee, and vanilla. Wonderful sweet qualities that are accompanied by a very enjoyable burnt/charred flavor that reminds me of the toasted sugar on the top of Crème brûlée.

Finish: Dark baking cocoa, orange citrus, black licorice, and a continuation of that delicious burnt sweetness from the palate. The finish is relatively long and leaves the mouth begging for another sip.

ABV: 58.9%
