Old Overholt 11 Year Cask Strength Rye
107.4 proof 11 years Rye Old Overholt (Jim Beam) Clermont, KY $100
Nose

Lighter and cleaner than the 10-year, with lighter cherry notes and gentle nuttiness. Still carries oak and warehouse character but more subdued.

Palate

Candy-sweet with prominent maple syrup, brown sugar, and crystal-sugar notes. Lush and velvety mouthfeel with a balanced, softer character. More nuttiness apparent.

Finish

Shorter and sweeter than the 10-year, leaving behind lingering sweetness on the palate.

Pleasant
A candy-sweet, balanced rye with lush mouthfeel that edges into dessert territory, though the finish doesn't linger as powerfully as the 10-year.
