Old Overholt 12 Year Cask Strength Rye
117 proof 12 years Rye Old Overholt (Jim Beam) $110

Berry-forward and bright with raspberry, strawberry, and jam-like notes. Sweet cream elements present. Less oak-forward than younger expressions but still carries warehouse character.

Berries and cream with a plush, velvety texture. Mid-palate focus with balanced sweetness and concentrated flavor. Leathery undertones with a salivating quality that drives dripping on the sides.

Lengthy finish combining both the sweetness and a spicy trail of leather and white pepper, delivering the best of both worlds.

Overall Score
4.5 / 5
A sophisticated rye that balances berry-fruit sweetness with spicy leather notes, offering plush texture and a complex, lengthy finish.
