Title:
Jim Beam Old Overholt Rye 11 yr
Description:
This 2024 new Extra Aged Cask Strength 11 Year Old, which builds upon two previous Old Overholt bottles from the past four years. This release is actually significantly lower in alcohol content than last year’s at 107.4 proof (which, for many drinkers, might actually be a good thing). That’s because, according to global small batch ambassador Tim Heuisler, the barrels came from lower floors. “The blending team really liked how these barrels were maturing and we feel that the final product, while at a ‘lower than average cask strength proof’, came out beautifully

After years of ups and downs, not to mention several different owners, Jim Beam acquired the brand in 1987. It is now made at the James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Kentucky from a mashbill that is somewhere just over the 51 percent required rye grain, which is quite different from how Abe himself would have made it back in his day. Earlier this year, the brand launched A. Overholt, a whiskey made in the style of Monongahela rye that used to be common in the state of Pennsylvania, with a mashbill of 80 percent rye and 20 percent malted barley.
