Old Overholt Straight Rye Whiskey 12 year

The Old Overholt 12 Year Old Cask Strength Straight Rye Whiskey is a limited-edition premium expression released for the 2025 season. It is part of an ongoing series of annual releases where the age statement has incrementally increased each year. Technical Specifications : Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 58.5% (117 Proof). Size: 750ml. Age Statement: 12 Years. Distillation: Distilled and barreled in the spring of 2013 at the James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky. Filtration: Non-chill filtered. Product Description : This release represents a significant maturation of the historic Old Overholt brand, often referred to as a "Kentucky-Style" rye due to its high corn content in the mash bill, which provides more sweetness than traditional high-rye expressions. The 2025 release was aged across four different warehouses to ensure a consistent and complex flavor profile that balances intense wood influence with the brand’s signature spice. Tasting Profile : Nose: Rich and fruit-forward with notes of butterscotch, strawberry, caramel corn, and warm baking spices (cinnamon and clove). Palate: Full-bodied and layered. Primary flavors include dark cherry, plum, and raspberry, grounded by molasses, brown sugar, and a robust rye grain backbone. Finish: Exceptionally long and warming. It shifts toward a drier profile with lingering notes of seasoned oak, charred barrel, pepper, and a touch of peanut brittle.
