This is the 2024 edition of Old Overholt Extra Aged Cask Strength. The rye was distilled in autumn 2012 at the Beam distillery in Clermont, Kentucky. It then spent 11 years in oak before bottling.
The barrels came from four different warehouses in Clermont. Blending them gives you depth from several spots in the rickhouse. The whiskey goes into the bottle straight from the barrel at 107.4 proof, with no water added.
Raise the glass and bold vanilla comes first, laced with tobacco spice. Mellowed oak and caramel sit underneath. On the palate you get allspice, sweet vanilla and caramel over charred oak. The rye spice is big but well rounded. One tasting of this edition also found fresh mint, orange zest and ripe apple. The finish feels full and lasts, with rye spice that hangs around.
This bottle has done well in competition. The brand lists Double Gold and a Best in Class finalist spot from the American Distilling Institute. It also lists Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and Gold at Fred Minnick's ASCOT Awards.
Taste it straight at first. A little water later will let it breathe. It also makes a strong Manhattan. Pair it with grilled steak, smoked pork or pecan pie. If you love rye at full strength, this one belongs on your shelf.
