Old Overholt Bonded Straight Rye Whiskey

This wins the “bang for your buck” if you like big, intensely hot ryes.

spicy rye, vanilla, oak, and mint tingle through the finish. great mixer, can't beat the price.

Solid spice. Solid smoke.

Even with a step up in proof from the standard Old Overholt offering, the bonded version maintains the nice combination of spicy and sweet that makes its 80-proof counterpart excellent in a variety of whiskey or bourbon cocktails. Drank this neat, then with a few drops of water. (Price note: $33 for a 1-liter bottle.)

Hard to hate. Hard to love. 7/6/18
