Old Overholt 10/11/12 Year Blend (Combo Pour)
115.3 proof
10–12 years
Rye
Old Overholt (Jim Beam)
Nose
Ethanol-forward with layered oak and warehouse character. Hints of berry notes from the 12-year but dominated by the higher-proof components.
Palate
Dark cherry plays big from the 10-year influence. Sweetness is present but dominated by the spice from the higher-proof expressions. Nuttiness evident with complex, everywhere character across the tongue.
Finish
Long and substantial with the rye spice and cherry character asserting themselves.
Overall Score
4 / 5
An interesting blend that showcases the interplay of the three expressions, with the higher-proof components dominating but delivering solid complexity throughout.
