Old Overholt 11 Year Cask Strength Rye Whiskey is a tribute to time-honored Kentucky craftsmanship, distilled and barreled in the autumn of 2012. This expression draws its character from eleven years of aging across four distinct warehouses in Clermont, Kentucky—namely Warehouses M, J, F, and 5. Bottled at an assertive 107.4 proof, it remains unfiltered, embracing its robust rye profile with every sip.
The whiskey offers a rich and layered tasting experience, beginning with inviting aromas of vanilla and tobacco. On the palate, expect a symphony of bold flavors like allspice, caramel, and charred oak, each note reflecting the spirit’s deep, extended maturation. The high-rye mash bill enhances the spice, adding a signature warmth and complexity without revealing its exact grain proportions.
Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, this rye showcases the essence of Old Overholt's heritage. Its cask strength ensures a full-bodied, intense flavor profile, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate a whiskey with depth and character.
