Old Overholt Straight Rye Whiskey (80 proof)

Yes.

Great nose, could use more of a finish.

A cocktail rye. It's a perfectly fine rye, if a little...pedestrian. The nose isn't particularly strong; there's some spice and vanilla, but that's about it. The palate, too, is a just a little too tame - spice, banana bread, a little vanilla. Pleasant enough, but something I prefer in a Manhattan, Sazerac, or Old Fashioned instead of on its own...and even then, a more flavorful rye would probably take you farther, too.

Nose of cinnamon and cherry hard candy. Spicey with vanilla and honey. Not over the top, but at its price should be on everyone's shelf. Perfect for a old fashion.
