Old Overholt Straight Rye Whiskey (80 proof)

Light and thin but not in an unpleasant way. more sweet than spicy, with a tingly nice tail, albeit a little short. Slightly above average, good for the price.

Not going to hate on it too much. I would just never under any circumstances drink it. Might be the first bottle I ever pour out if I can’t find anyone else liking it. I make everyone try a small pour and they feel the same. I appreciate almost every whisky I try even if it’s not my favorite. I wanted to like this as a cheaper rye. Very disappointing.

Bold rye with heavy vanilla, oak and molasses. I feel like this is a vestige of what a rye used to taste like. This is a dark brown rye, not amber colored and lighter in taste like many of the current offerings (e.g. Sazerac). It tastes above its price point, but not by a lot. It wasn’t my favorite, but it’s not bad.
