Old Overholt Cask Strength Straight Rye Limited Release 10 year 750 ml

Once a year, Old Overholt lets its rye out of the barrel untouched — and the Cask Strength Straight Rye Limited Release is that bottle, this edition a 10-year straight rye whiskey bottled unfiltered at full barrel strength. The label has been made continuously since 1810, and this annual limited edition is its deepest reach: a decade in charred oak, no chill filtration, no water added. Expect dense rye spice, black pepper and cinnamon over caramel, dark chocolate and old oak, with a long, leathery finish. Proof varies with each year's barrels, so read your label. Distilled at James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky. Pour it slow, add water to taste, and give it ten minutes in the glass.

How to drink Old Overholt Cask Strength 10 Year

Beyond a neat pour, this is a rye built for a Sazerac or a rye Manhattan — the cask strength holds its own against absinthe rinse or sweet vermouth instead of getting lost in the glass. Use less than you would with a standard-proof rye.
