Old Carter American OC-5 W/Box 19 Year Single Barrel 141.2 Proof

Old Carter American Whiskey OC-5 W/Box 19 Year Single Barrel 141.2 Proof is a companion release to OC-6 — a separate short barrel from Old Carter Whiskey Co., also aged 19 years and bottled at barrel strength, this time at 141.2 proof (70.6% ABV) with 76 bottles produced. Founded by Mark and Sherri Carter (co-creators of Kentucky Owl), Old Carter releases its whiskeys when the barrels are ready — not on a calendar schedule. OC-5 is one of the highest-proof expressions they have released. Non-chill filtered, hand-bottled, with Sherri's hand-labeling on every bottle. Comes with original box.

At 141.2 proof, this sits at the upper edge of what can be bottled legally without dilution — meaning almost nothing was added between the barrel and the glass. The 19-year aging brings extreme oak depth, dried fruit concentration, and a tannin structure that rewards patience in the glass and demands respect in the pour.
