Old Overholt 12 Year Rye
117 proof 12 years Rye Old Overholt Clermont, KY $110

Leather, dried cherry, cranberry, caramel, and mahogany with rich complexity and age presence without candied sweetness.

Dry, oaky, leathery, nutty, and peppery with a mouth-watering quality. Displays aged dried fruit character and hint of strawberry; rich in a dry way. The palate punches despite the soft nose.

Long finish with pepper spice and holiday spice notes that linger considerably.

Excellent
An exceptional aged rye that eschews candy sweetness for elegant desiccated fruit and leather, delivering a remarkably long, satisfying finish at a compelling price point.
