  • A big, flavorful rye that’s bursting with spice. Beam doesn’t miss on these Overholt releases, and this one is no exception.

House Review
  • Nose:

    The nose is spicy but mature, with plenty of clove and cinnamon complemented by oatmeal.

  • Taste:

    On the palate, this is a delicious rye whiskey with a nice, thick viscosity. Plenty of cinnamon, plus gingerbread, brown sugar, clove, tapioca, fig and dark cherry, plus lemon peel. Cocoa and espresso kicks in on the back end.

  • Finish:

    The finish begins intensely spicy, with plenty of cinnamon, powdered ginger and clove, joined by orange peel. That profile holds steady for quite a while, eventually giving way to seared oak and a lightly fruity vibe of apple and blackberry.

  • Overall:

    A big, flavorful rye that’s bursting with spice. Beam doesn’t miss on these Overholt releases, and this one is no exception.
