The making begins with a mash bill that is predominantly rye, imparting the distinct spicy character to the spirit. The distilled spirit is then transferred to charred oak barrels for a minimum 4 years of maturation. It's during this aging process that the whiskey acquires an enticing array of flavors such as cocoa, spices, and citrus, all while preserving the inherent rye spiciness. Finally, the whiskey is bottled at 80 proof, maintaining its smooth and drinkable profile. This intricate process underlines why Old Overholt Original Straight Rye Whiskey continues to be a revered choice among whiskey enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1L \u0026amp; 86 Proof\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Beam Suntory","offers":[{"title":"1L","offer_id":47230038376700,"sku":"999017","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/6217\/6252\/files\/sqLFRX7J7nKIeGoNuU5sLGV-AJk6CFryhlaquDOyZwE_3fb26b8c-a3f2-44fa-9656-71326abaa828.png?v=1748999520"},{"product_id":"rittenhouse-straight-rye-whisky-bottled-in-bond","title":"Rittenhouse Straight Rye Whisky Bottled in Bond","description":"\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAbout Rittenhouse Straight Rye Whisky Bottled in Bond\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a reason every curator on Curiada recommends this rye in their collection.
