For bourbon and rye enthusiasts, Old Overholt Extra Aged American rye whiskey is cask-strength and non-chill filtered. It represents a unique expression of craftsmanship. The whiskey also showcases remarkable flavor depth. Distilled and barreled during the autumn of 2012, it rested in four distinct warehouses in Clermont, Kentucky, for over a decade. There, it developed a profile with robust rye spice. It beautifully balances rich vanilla, caramel sweetness, and the complexity of charred oak. This attention to aging and storage ensures a consistent, well-rounded rye, crafted to satisfy even the most discerning palate.
