Listen "Old Carter Batch 12 & Ratzilla at Ocoee – Rare Bourbon Meets Bold Drew Estate Smoke - High Proof Ashes Podcast Ep 101"
Episode Synopsis
We’re back at Ocoee Cigar Lounge with another bold pour and an equally bold smoke. Up first: Old Carter Straight Bourbon Batch 12—a highly sought-after release from one of the most buzzed-about names in American whiskey. Known for their meticulously blended, high-proof offerings, Batch 12 delivers with notes of rich caramel, dried fruit, oak spice, and a long, warming finish. It’s decadent, powerful, and everything we expect from the Carters.To match the intensity of the pour, we’ve got the Drew Estate Liga Privada Único Ratzilla—a 6.25x46 vitola that brings deep, earthy richness, bold spice, and classic Liga body. Wrapped in a Connecticut Habano leaf and packed with Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers, the Ratzilla is limited, flavorful, and not to be underestimated.Tune in for tasting notes, pairing impressions, and some lounge-side conversation as we soak in another great session at Ocoee Cigar Lounge. Light up, pour a dram, and enjoy the ride with High Proof Ashes.
