Color: Light amber

Drank: Neat, in a glencairn

Nose: Vanilla, oak, cinnamon, sweet mash, leather, paper

Feel: Medium body

Taste: Caramel, nuts, oak, rye, cinnamon, nutmeg

Finish: Good warmth and lasting, oak and caramel with vanilla

Thoughts: A huge improvement on the regular Old Overholt, and a good budget rye. I still prefer Rittenhouse, however. If you want a more robust version of this, look for the new Knob Creek Single Barrel Ryes
