Old Overholt 10/11/12 Year Blend (Combo Pour)
115.3 proof 10–12 years Rye Old Overholt (Jim Beam) Clermont, KY $?
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.

Above average
An interesting blend that showcases the interplay of the three expressions, with the higher-proof components dominating but delivering solid complexity throughout.
