Old Carter Batch 3-CA — a California-market exclusive small batch straight bourbon from Old Carter Whiskey Co., founded by Mark and Sherri Carter, the creators of Kentucky Owl. Bottled at 58.5% ABV (117 proof) with 1,128 bottles total production. Non-chill filtered, with Sherri hand-labeling each bottle in Old Carter's signature format.The 3-CA designation identifies this as a California-market exclusive batch — separate production from the nationally distributed numbered batches, allocated specifically to California distribution. Like other state-market Old Carter batches (KY Batch 2, KY Batch 3, DC Batch 1, GA Batch 1), the 3-CA is rarer than the national numbered releases because it circulated only locally and was not widely distributed outside the state.At 1,128 bottles total and 117 proof, Batch 3-CA is the lowest-proof Old Carter currently in the Wooden Cork collection — more approachable than the higher-proof national numbered batches, reflecting the specific barrel selection for this California allocation.Specs Producer: Old Carter Whiskey Co., Kentucky Style: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Small Batch Batch: 3-CA (California exclusive) Proof: 117 (58.5% ABV) Bottles produced: 1,128 Bottling: Non-chill filtered, barrel strength Size: 750ml Browse all bourbon at Wooden Cork.Frequently Asked QuestionsHow does 3-CA compare to other state-market Old Carter batches in the collection?The collection includes KY Batch 2, KY Batch 3, DC Batch 1, and GA Batch 1 alongside 3-CA — all state-market exclusives produced in smaller quantities than nationally distributed numbered batches.
