Pass Up, Repour, or Buy Backup Bottle? Old Overholt Cask Strength 10 Year Rye. 120 proof.
Retail: $99 - a good value
Got a peanut carmel on the nose. Front of the mouth baking spices and warmness. Would like a longer finish. Better as a mixer than a sipper. Any higher proof it is a stripper (paint stripper, keep it clean guys)!
A repour Rye in my book and a keeper for candidate for cocktails.
Some Old Overholt history for you: Said to be America’s oldest continually-maintained brand of whiskey having been founded in West Overton, Pennsylvania in 1810. After World War II, Americans turned to clear spirits, and Old Overholt soon found itself as the only nationally distributed straight rye whiskey on the market. Despite being the only rye on the market, it struggled, and in 1987 was sold to James B. Beam Distilling Company. After the sale, production was moved to Kentucky. Sometimes referred to as Old Overholt Extra Aged Rye, is the first cask strength release from the brand since the 1940s.
