OVERHOLT RYE WHISKEY
We are delighted to offer this rare wooden case of ‘Overholt’ Rye Whiskey. Originally it came from one of the most important collection of Pre-Prohibition whiskey Christie’s have ever sold. The whiskey originally came from the private collection of Richard Mellon Scaife, whose ancestor Andrew Mellon, once owned a share in Old Overholt distillery, this case is consigned by a private collector.
Nose: notes of cedar, resin and allspice. More spice character than grain; Christmassy preserved, sweet spices. Very bright and clean.
Palate: Initial notes of cedar and sweet spice consistent with the nose, followed by pleasant waves of sweet grain character. Warm, dry and very long finish, not too wood-dominated, with a good deal of grain developing late. Very clean and extremely rich for an American rye whiskey. A very good whiskey.
Apparent proof: 45-50% vol. David Wondrich 09/08/2015
