{"product_id":"old-overholt-4-year-straight-rye-whiskey-750ml-86-proof","title":"Old Overholt 4 Year Straight Rye Whiskey 750ml 86 Proof","description":"The creak of weathered rickhouse boards mingles with the sharp, peppery bite of rye grain as sunlight filters through dusty windows, illuminating amber whiskey that carries two centuries of American tradition. Old Overholt 4 Year Straight Rye Whiskey is a 86-proof expression of pure Pennsylvania heritage, non-chill filtered and crafted to honor Abraham Overholt's pioneering spirit that sparked America's rye whiskey legacy in 1810.\n\nFrom the rolling hills of Western Pennsylvania to the bourbon heartland of Kentucky, Old Overholt represents one of America's oldest and most storied rye whiskey traditions. Abraham Overholt's distillery became the foundation upon which American rye whiskey was built, and this four-year-aged expression carries forward that uncompromising focus on rye's distinctive character. Each bottle celebrates not just the spirit itself, but America's 250-year journey from colonial craft to modern mastery.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black peppercorns, caraway seed, dried orange peel, vanilla oak, honeyed grain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rye spice, cinnamon bark, caramelized brown sugar, toasted grain, subtle mint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium length with warming rye spice, oak tannins, lingering pepper heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight Rye Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43.0% (86 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA.
