Old Overholt Straight Rye Whiskey (80 proof)

I had never actually had Overholt and bought a bottle assuming all the rave reviews would leave me with a solid choice. I wasn't disappointed but I wasn't blown away feeling as if II got some super great deal. It has a unique flavor, and is definitely a RYE, but I bought it thinking it would make a GREAT manhattan and it didn't. The taste was almost too unique to make it feel like it could be an everyday cocktail base.
