11 Years
Cask Strength Rye
Jim Beam (Old Overholt)
$100 MSRP
Nose
Much lighter and cleaner than the 10-year. Peanut brittle and subtle oak.
Palate
"Candy rye" territory — rich maple syrup, brown sugar, and crystallized sugar sticks. Sweet and approachable. Hides its proof effortlessly.
Finish
Not quite as long as the 10-year but beautifully balanced. Sweet and clean.
Overall Score
4.2 / 5
The sweet, approachable sibling — a "candy rye" that hides its proof behind maple and brown sugar.
