Straight Rye Whiskey 1.0L

Old Overholt Straight Rye Whiskey is a true American whiskey icon with over 200 years of history. As one of the oldest continuously produced whiskey brands in the USA, Old Overholt stands for authentic rye enjoyment in the classic style. The brand was founded as early as 1810 and is one of the original names in American whiskey. Today, the rye whiskey is produced under the umbrella of Beam Suntory in Kentucky and remains true to its historic character.

The recipe is based on a high proportion of rye, which gives the whiskey its typical, spicy note. It is matured for at least 3 years in burnt-out American white oak barrels, which gives it additional vanilla and wood aromas. With an increased alcohol content of 43 % vol. in this 1-liter bottling, Old Overholt offers more strength and expression than the classic 40 % version, while remaining pleasantly accessible and balanced.
