Old Sport Bourbon Barrel #13 110.8 Proof is a single barrel expression from Old Carter Whiskey Co.’s “Old Sport” line a sister program to their flagship numbered batch releases, named with the classic American literary reference. Like all Old Carter releases, Barrel #13 is sourced from Kentucky, bottled at barrel strength (110.8 proof / 55.4% ABV), non-chill filtered, and hand-labeled by Sherri Carter. The Old Sport series focuses on single barrel transparency each barrel has a specific number and is documented as a standalone expression rather than a batch blend.

At 110.8 proof, Barrel #13 sits in the approachable end of Old Carter’s proof spectrum lower than the hazmat-level batches but still fully uncut and unfiltered at cask strength. This is the classic Old Carter ethos: real barrel character, real proof, no apologies but accessible enough to drink neat without necessarily needing water. Old Sport Bourbon Barrel 13 is the only Barrel 13 Mark Carter has ever bottled.
