Old Overholt Rye 4 Year 86 Proof (750 ml) Size:750ml The palate lands in elegantlyThe first sniffings detect notes of black pepper and oak resin; aeration adds stone dry scents of minerals, slate, and sage. The palate entry is lean, semisweet, intensely grainy, and satisfying; at midpalate the whiskey lies well on the tongue, sweet, grainy, medium plump, and spicy. Finishes spicy. A very solid rye whiskey that deserves a larger audience. Wine Enthusiast 85 89 points
