I reviewed the 80 proof Old Overholt rye a while back so when I saw that they increased the proof I figured I would give it a try. For less than $20, I would say this is a very solid value. The nose features the typical bread like notes along with vanilla. I wasnt very impressed with the nose to start but the palate is solid with cloves, nutmeg, butter and dark cherry. It is a touch thin, but nowhere near as bad as the 80 proof version. The finish is pretty short with little burn, some sweetness and pepper. I will say this is a considerable improvement on the 80 proof. It may not be that complex, but it's a very good value and may be an everyday no fuss dram candidate. Is it better than Rittenhouse or Bulleit, no, but for the cost it's hard to complain. It even is decent in citrus forward cocktails. Removing the price, it's a 3 but with the value component I'm bumping it to a 3.25.
