Old Overholt 12 Year Straight Rye Whiskey
117 proof 12 years Rye Old Overholt Frankfort, KY $110
Nose

Leather, dried cherry and cranberry from trail mix, caramel, classic aged nose without bright minty rye spice.

Palate

Dry, oaky, leathery, nutty, peppery with rich character. Exceptional dryness with aged quality, making the mouth water. Holiday spice notes and subtle strawberry on revisit.

Finish

Very long finish with black pepper and spice that lingers for days on the palate.

Excellent
An exceptional aged rye that moves past candy-sweet into dry, sophisticated territory with a finish of remarkable length and dried fruit complexity.
