Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich caramel and dark brown sugar up front, layered with dried cherry, vanilla bean, and a hint of toasted oak. The high proof opens up with a few drops of water to reveal baking spice and leather.

Palate: Full-bodied and bold — dark chocolate, candied orange peel, black pepper, and charred oak. The barrel strength delivers an intense but well-integrated heat with waves of toffee and dried fruit.

Finish: Long and warming with lingering oak tannins, a touch of tobacco, and a sweet molasses fade that keeps you coming back.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is bourbon at full volume: a Very Small Batch, barrel strength straight bourbon from Old Carter Whiskey Co., distilled and bottled in Louisville, Kentucky, at 59.3% ABV (118.6 proof) with no chill filtration and no water added. Batch CA-4 runs to just 1,395 hand-numbered bottles, which makes it a natural pick for collectors following Old Carter releases, but we carry it for what is in the glass. Rich caramel and dark brown sugar lead the nose, with dried cherry and vanilla bean behind them. The full-bodied palate brings dark chocolate, candied orange peel, black pepper and charred oak. The heat is intense yet well integrated, rolling into toffee and dried fruit before a long finish of oak tannin, a touch of tobacco and sweet molasses. It is not a first bourbon. It rewards drinkers who already enjoy high proof and like to experiment, since a few drops of water open up baking spice and leather. Pour it neat, give it a few minutes, and let it evolve.

Pairs well with

  • Dark chocolate squares — The bourbon's own dark chocolate and candied orange peel notes echo the bittersweet cocoa, while its caramel sweetness softens the bitterness.
  • Aged cheddar board — Sharp, savory cheddar stands up to the bold proof and black pepper, and the molasses finish adds a sweet counterpoint.
  • Evening cigar session — A medium-bodied cigar matches the toasted oak, leather and tobacco notes, and the long, warming finish lasts as long as the smoke.

Questions about this bottle

What does barrel strength mean for this bourbon?

It is bottled straight from the barrel with no water added and no chill filtration, so it reaches the bottle at 59.3% ABV (118.6 proof). The result is a fuller-bodied, more intense pour than a bourbon diluted down to a standard bottling strength.

What does Batch CA-4 taste like?

Expect caramel, dark brown sugar, dried cherry and vanilla on the nose. The palate brings dark chocolate, candied orange peel, black pepper and charred oak, followed by waves of toffee and dried fruit. The finish is long and warming, with oak tannins, a touch of tobacco and a sweet molasses fade.

How should I drink a bourbon this strong?

Start neat in a Glencairn and let it rest a few minutes to settle the heat. A few drops of water open up baking spice and leather on the nose. If you prefer it cooler, one large ice cube tames the proof while keeping the caramel and dark fruit intact.

Is this a good gift for a whiskey collector?

Yes. Batch CA-4 is a Very Small Batch release of only 1,395 hand-numbered 750 ml bottles, made by Old Carter Whiskey Co. in Louisville, Kentucky. That combination of small batch size, numbering and barrel strength suits someone who enjoys high-proof bourbon or follows individual batch releases.
