This is Old Overholt as almost nobody had seen it before 2023: ten years old, bottled at cask strength and unfiltered. Beam barrelled it in 2012 and aged it in an escalator-style warehouse in Clermont, Kentucky, before releasing it in limited quantities.
At 121 proof it's a long way from the light mixing rye most people know by the name. Rye spice, caramel, dark toffee and oak arrive together, the body is full, and the finish is long and warm.
It's the bottle to show someone who thinks Old Overholt is only a well rye. For the everyday version, take the 4 Year; for the next age up, the Old Overholt 11 Year Cask Strength.
Add water a few drops at a time. At this strength, a teaspoon changes the whole whiskey.
Pour it into a Glencairn or a small tulip glass so the oak and caramel have room to come up.
We carry it in the 750ml size, in limited quantities. More bottles are under rye whiskey, and the rest of our whiskey is a click away. Pick it up at our Brooklyn store or get same-day delivery across NYC.
