Old Overholt is a Straight Rye Whiskey, aged four years and bottled at 80 proof (40% alcohol). It isn’t fancy, but it doesn’t need to be: if you can only find one brand of American Rye on the shelf, it will be Old Overholt. The plain brown bottle and its simple yellow label testify to this American Rye’s unassuming nature. Although I’ve had no luck uncovering it’s exact mashbill, the nose, taste, and finish all suggest a higher rye content than the minimum 51%.
