Old Carter Whiskey Co. has six new batches of whiskey on the horizon and we were fortunate enough to taste through each with Founders, Mark and Sherri Carter. The Carters invited Bourbon Lens to their tasting room in Downtown Louisville for an early look at Batches 7, 8, 9, and 10 of their latest bourbons and Batches 5 & 6 of the American Whiskey. Each batch is bottled at barrel strength and comes packed with a ton of flavor. Enjoy this week’s episode, a sneak peek of the upcoming releases from Old Carter Whiskey Co.

About Old Carter Whiskey Co.
Old Carter Whiskey Co is the passion project of Mark and Sherri Carter. They began their beverage endeavors in the wine business, producing fine wines in Napa Valley with their Carter Cellars Cabernets garnering eleven perfect 100 point scores from critics. The whiskey business found them several years ago when they partnered with a Kentucky friend to resurrect a long dormant bourbon brand. That brand did well and sold in 2017, but by then the Carters were hooked on the process of making and blending whiskies, as well as the state of Kentucky. So they started Old Carter Whiskey Co to carry on their love affair with whiskey making. They now produce Straight Ryes, Bourbons and American Whiskey in Kentucky and have an Old Carter showroom in Louisville. Mark and Sherri handle all aspects of the business themselves, from creating new blends and selecting single barrels, to designing and handwriting each individual label per bottling. It is a very hands-on approach and has allowed them to continue to create together. Old Carter is truly a labor of love..
Hey guys- Great episode. But, when you tasted the American Whiskey you didn’t mention what you were tasting. Which AW batch did you taste first? Your description of both 5 and 6 were so different. I’m interested in finding the pancakes and syrup batch! Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words and your support. In this episode, we tasted the following in order: Bourbons batch 8, 7, 9, 10 then American batches 5 & 6. Batch 6 is the “full on pancakes, butter and maple syrup” according to Sherri around 1:07. Cheers! -Scott
