Experience the unfiltered power of America’s oldest continually maintained whiskey brand. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for rare and historic spirits, is honored to present the Old Overholt 12 Year Cask Strength Rye (2025 Release). This limited-edition bottling represents the pinnacle of the Old Overholt portfolio, offering a depth and complexity rarely seen in this legendary rye.
This 2025 release is a testament to patience and curation. Distilled in the autumn of 2012 and aged for a full 12 years, these barrels were hand-selected from the distillery's best warehouse locations—specifically Warehouses M, J, F, and 5 in Clermont, Kentucky. This careful selection process ensures that only the most exceptional liquid makes it into the bottle.
Bottled uncut and unfiltered at a robust 117.0 proof (58.5% ABV), this whiskey delivers the full, raw character of well-aged rye. It is a bold step up from the standard expression, showcasing the true potential of the classic Overholt mashbill.
Tasting Notes:
Color: Deep, dark amber with golden hues.
Nose: A bold and inviting bouquet of mellowed oak, sweet corn, and rich vanilla, underpinned by a spicy kick of black pepper and cinnamon toast.
Palate: Complex and full-bodied. Layers of black pepper, baking spices, and green peppercorn are beautifully balanced by sweet notes of caramel, vanilla bean, and dark cherry.
Finish: Long, resonant, and spicy. The finish lingers with notes of rye spice, brown sugar, honey, and a sophisticated touch of charred oak and leather.
This is a must-have for any rye enthusiast or collector of American whiskey history. As your trusted retailer, Nestor Liquor is your premier source for this highly allocated release. Secure your bottle of Old Overholt 12 Year Cask Strength today.
