Heritage
This expertly curated 4-bottle bundle showcases a spectrum of American whiskey craftsmanship through four standout expressions. At its core lies Old Carter Batch 14, a small-batch release revered for its robust structure, hand-selected barrel blending, and unfiltered, cask-strength purity—hallmarks of the Old Carter Whiskey Co.s commitment to old-school bourbon values.
Paired with Elijah Craig, known as the “Father of Bourbon” for his role in pioneering charred oak barrel aging, this bottle delivers a classic profile shaped by deep charred casks and small-batch consistency from Heaven Hill. Heaven Hill Bourbon, another core component of this bundle, represents one of the last independently owned and family-operated distilleries in Kentucky—celebrated for its time-honored methods, traditional mash bills, and high-quality yields.
Completing the set is Buffalo Trace, a historic distillery producing award-winning bourbons with a balance of caramel sweetness, oak spice, and velvety mouthfeel. Together, these four bottles represent a journey through American bourbon artistry—rich in heritage, meticulously crafted, and ideal for collectors or aficionados seeking diversity in flavor and legacy.

Craftsmanship
Old Carter Whiskey Co. is an independent American whiskey producer focused on creating rare, limited-edition expressions of bourbon, rye, and American whiskey.
