Old Overholt Straight Rye Whiskey is an iconic American rye that has been a staple in bars and homes for over a century. This particular expression is aged for four years, allowing the natural spiciness of the rye to meld harmoniously with the sweetness from the oak barrels. Bottled at 43% ABV, it strikes a balance between strength and smoothness, making it accessible yet flavorful. On the nose, it presents classic rye characteristics of spice and fruit, with hints of vanilla and oak. The palate is greeted with flavors of peppery spice, vanilla, and dried fruits, leading to a medium-length finish that leaves a warm and slightly sweet aftertaste.
