Final Thoughts
Bottled at 100 proof, Old Overholt Bonded is a bold step up in intensity and depth. The nose opens with caramelized sugar, vanilla bean, dill, and baking spice. The palate offers layers of cinnamon, clove, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, and orange marmalade balanced by toasted oak. The higher proof gives it a warming, full-bodied mouthfeel with great structure. The finish is long and spicy with notes of rye bread, peppercorn, and cocoa. This expression shines neat or with a splash of water and pairs beautifully with barbecue brisket, rye bread sandwiches, or pecan pie.
