Old Overholt Bonded Straight Rye Whiskey

Nose: caramel, sharp ethanol, gentle vanilla, peanuts Palate: creamy marshmallow, gentle rye spice, faint nuttiness Finish: full on beam peanut funk with rye bread and creamy marshmallow spread Decent for $20, I was hoping for big things from this bottle but it just doesn’t do it for me like what old forester rye does for me at the same price point

Little sharp on the nose. Pleasant caramel and vanilla scent. Drinks harsher than I'd prefer. Hot rye spice and alcohol taste overwhelms the palate.

Strong toasted marshmallow. Rye spice. Quite hot. Finishes dry.

The alcohol is a bit sharp on the nose, but underneath is marzipan and banana pudding. The taste has a characteristic, nutty Beam profile, and it drinks less hot than it smells. I get sweet tea vibes from this one. The oak is subdued and flairs-up along side the rye on the finish. The finish is long for a whiskey of this caliber. The marzipan from the nose comes back, and a syrupy caramel lingers for a good 30 seconds to a full minute.

Such a good budget rye

smells of wood and molasses. taste: spicy, cinnamon with the oak; the taste of alcohol is nonexistent, fully covered, overshadowed by the bonded whiskey. warm, not harsh--smooth. taste lingers: nutty, warm and full. the best that's why I drink a bottle a month

cherry. warm after taste of oak. good value rye. definitely an "everyday drinker". a class rye
