Old Overholt 114 Proof Rye Whiskey
114 proof 4 years Rye Jim Beam (Frankfort, Kentucky) Clermont, KY $35 Undisclosed

Baking spice, minty, caramely, nutmeg, Christmas fruitcake, sweet with traditional Kentucky rye character

Super buttery with sweetness over the tongue, little bit of spice, walnut shell dryness, pecan-like bitterness, creamy at first then drying across the palate, mintiness, oak and leather influence, fruitcake notes

Medium finish with drying effect, not overly long but noticeable, leaves a dry sensation on the back end

Pleasant
A solid, high-proof Kentucky rye with a respectable pedigree that balances creamy sweetness with drying spice, ideal for cocktails and reasonably priced for the proof point.
