You were right that this sits on the shelf. Finally bought it today after a few months seeing it behind the counter at my favorite local liquor store. $99.99, $108 after taxes. Kind of thinking I’ll wait until fall time to open it, seems fitting. Great review, can’t wait to try it.
You got it at a good price. Once you have a pour of it, let me know how you like it!
Stay cool and cheers ~
Great review. Thanks
Thanks a ton for the wonderful compliment! Did you have a chance to pick up a bottle? If so, did you like it?
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and cheers~
@@WhiskeyBank I did. A few days ago I picked up a bottle while on vacation in Branson, MO. I’m a huge rye fan and this one is pretty high on my list already.
@@touring3d nice! Let me know how you like it once you get a chance to have a pour!
Great review. Makes me want to run out and buy this one.
Hey Delan! It is a good one and I do recommend it if it's within your budget! Thanks for watching and cheers~
@@WhiskeyBank Cheers.. If I find one. I will let you know.
Looking to get a pour of the Old Overholt. Never tried Parker’s either. I’m still very new to rye whiskey.
Hey Jim! Both the Old Overholt and the Parker's would be a good place to start (even though a little expensive) as they are both sweeter ryes that don't overwhelm you with the rye spice. If your looking into Ryes on the less expensive side, Pikesville Rye, Sagamore Cask Strength Rye, and Jack Daniel's Bonded Rye would be a great place to start your Rye journey as they are all sweeter Rye whiskeys. If you want to start with something with a little more proof, the Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye is an awesome Rye (available at Cypress right now I believe for $80). Let me know which Rye you have tried and how you liked them!
Thank you again for binge watching my channel tonight! Super appreciate it and cheers~
I've been torn on getting this bottle. I'm sitting on 7 bottle of the special release 114 proof bottles that were put out in pa and Ohio. PA was blowing them out for $20 a bottle. It's delicious and at 124 proof and 100 bucks will it be worth it.
Hey Thomas! If you have 7 bottles of the 114 Proof, I would hold off on this purchase. I would rather get something different if you wanted to change the pace (JD barrel proof rye, knob creek single barrel rye, sagamore 8 year rye, etc.). But if you do pick this up, let me know how you like it!
Thank you so much for all your views and comments! They are fun to read and cheers~
I feel more times than not these "barely" a rye pours are right in my wheel house. Like Pikesville. Although the Jack Daniel's mash bill is quite good too. I just not sure if I can get past the fact that I can by two of either of the above mentioned for the price. I you said about the Parer's Heritage in comparison to Old Overholt 10. I mean... when and where do we draw the line and say "it's just brown consumable liquid " ? Each person has to set their own limits. My limit is right near that $100 mark along with the expectation to stay at or within say 20% of msrp, plus I refuse to support the whole secondary market that is driving the bubble.
This sounds like a personal problem for me to work through. Perhaps therapy is in order? LoL
I know it's the reason why I don't have really great bottles on my shelf. But the bottles I do have are every bit as delicious and I didn't break the bank.
Thanks again for another great comparison and who knows, the bubble may burst and the price/availability may correct itself.
I know... the world needs dreamers.
Dana (So-Cal)
Hey Dana! I would agree with you in that you certainly don't need to spend over $100 on any bottle as you will get probably 90% of the experience with great bottles like Pikesville, Sagamore Cask Strength, or Jack Daniel's Barrel Proof Ryes. But I like to think it's in the margins, especially at top, that make a subtle but tremendous difference.
This bottle is certainly a different experience than the bottles above and provides a smoothness that only age can bring. Of course, it's a small difference so I totally understand if you don't think that's worth it as everybody values things differently 😆.
I also will dream the prices will come down and we'll be talking about a $10 to $20 difference instead of in the hundreds!
I always appreciate your insight comments and timely views! Thank you for all you do for my channel and Happy New Years! Cheers my friend~
You’re so right about people overlooking the 10 year Old Overholt. Even the clerks at my local had no idea where to put it. They ended up putting it 2 bottles over from the 4 year. Snagged one but haven’t opened it yet. I hope to get the same tasting notes.
Hey Dean! Great pick up and I'm 99.9% sure you'll like it! Once you open it and have a couple of pours, let me know how you like it and what notes you get!
Thank you so much for all your support for my channel in 2023! I super appreciated every single one of your views and comments on all my videos! And you watched it until the last day of 2023 is just so awesome. Hopefully I'll provide better content in 2024 so you'll stick around~ Have a wonderful new year and cheers~
Some how I missed this, ryes always worry me that they are going to be too minty
Hey Adam! All good bro~ You don't need to watch all my videos as you have so many you follow and like, I'm sure it's impossible to watch all of our stuff. I just appreciate what you do and how involved you are with all of our small channels. That being said, this has no mint and is a Rye you'll like. If you ever get one, let me know how you like it!
Thank you so much for your view and comment as always!! It is always appreciated and cheers~
Your reviews are great. Hope the new year treats you well.
Thank you for the awesome compliment! I hope I will continue to improve in 2024 to bring you more entertaining and fun videos! Thanks a ton for your view and comment! Happy new year and cheers~
We all love watching you drink whiskey...so Liked 😂. Have not tried any of the Old Overholt. I will have to find a sample pour. Cheers and a Happy New Year to you!
Hey Rene! I love drinking whiskey so this works out very well! (mostly for me 😆). The Old Overholt 10 Year Cask Strength Rye is a good one to have a pour if you can as it's gives you everything a good rye should (rye punch, cinnamon, balance) but with a blast of fruit that is sensational! If you get a chance to have a pour, let me know your thoughts!
Thank you so much for all your support for my channel in 2023! I truly appreciated every single one of them! Also, Viewing and commenting on this video so quickly after posting really helps out a ton!! I hope you have a wonderful and joyous 2024 and cheers~
Great quality review. Would definitely listen in again. Thank you for all the thoughtful insight!
Hey Justin! Thank you for the awesome compliment! Let me know your thoughts on the Overholt 10 Year CS Rye if you have a chance to get a pour or two and what your thoughts on the bottle!
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and cheers~
@@WhiskeyBank Very welcome. I had just picked up a bottle, so I tried it earlier tonight. It was quite excellent, despite my being a bit congested. I second the luxardo cherry notes (which I love), caramel sweetness, baking spice. I listened to some other reviews that spoke about having the strong Jim Beam nuttiness profile but i think it’s very subtle if there at all. Also heard a lot of mention of “minty, spicy peppery” etc. didn’t really get much of that. Also agree with you on the mash bill. It seems closer to a barely legal rye than an MGP 95/5. You’re right on the money. Keep up the great work!
@@Bigjay1584 Thank you for the update and glad you enjoyed the Old Overholt 10 Year! 😄
Awesome review, David 👏 love the comparison at the end as well. It puts pricing into perspective.
Hey Jaime! Thank you for the awesome compliment! It is a good bottle and one that can stay in the same league as the PH 10 Year Rye, especially at basically 40% of the cost (Even at MSRP, which is find to do with Parker's Heritage). I'll enjoy my bottle and hopefully you have one as well! If you do get a pour, let me know how you like it!
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and cheers~
Absolutely love my Old Overholt 10 Rye. Halfway through first bottle and decided to grad second bottle. Great rye for sure!
Hey Be Kind! It is a wonderful pour and I'm also contemplating to see if I need to get a back up as there was a large drop of this bottle here recently. It is certainly a great rye and one I'll enjoy very quickly!
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and have a wonderful new years! Cheers~
Great review. I have been looking for this. Happy New Year
Thank you so the awesome compliment! I hope you can find it soon as in Southern California, there was a big drop of this Old Overholt 10 Year Cask Strength Rye on December 30th so hopefully you'll find it in your area soon!

Would be a nice one to find and don't get into trouble tonight lol
Hey Darrell! There was a huge drop of the Old Overholt 10 Year Cask Strength recently so I'm hoping there will be a big one in your area soon so you can get you hands on one as it is a delicious pour! With my collection of whiskeys, I will stay home tonight and enjoy it safe and sound. You stay safe as well!!

@@WhiskeyBank I will be here watching in 2024 buddy
@@darrellknight4110 Thank you! 🥰. I will do my best to deliver the content you expect and want!
If I want a rye the Overholt is the clear winner over the Parkers. The Parkers taste like a Bourbon. When I have a rye I want that spice kick and not just sweetness
Hey Steve! That is so true! The Parker's was so sweet without a lot of spice or the "kick" you're referring to. It was a fun comparison and I hope to do more of these types in 2024!
Thank you so much for your view and comment! I greatly appreciate it and have a wonderful new years! Cheers~
This is an awesome review.
Considering I just forked over the money for one, and I'm really looking forward to trying it.
Thanks!
You made a great decision and I'm sure you'll love it! Once you have a pour, let me know how you liked it and if you got the same or different notes than I did!
Thanks a ton for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and cheers ~
@@WhiskeyBank Thank you!
This is so exciting because i just got one yesterday and tried it. Im watching right now and will give you my honest feedback
Hey Sean! I see you gave me the feedback so I'll reply over there!
If that 51% rye number is true, I've got to wonder how it might compare to a high rye whiskey, like Tumblin' Dice. Oh, and you may have overlooked Old Overholt 114! I just cracked that one open last night, and enjoyed it a good bit. Cheers and happy New Year, dude!🥃✌️
Hey Vic! I did overlook the 114 and didn't put it in the Old Overholt lineup. I guess my research skills are wearing down due to all the drinking. My "excuse" is that the 114 is actually really hard to find here in Southern California so it's like "out of sight, out of mind" kind of thing. Oh well, need to do better for future videos. That being said, you're right, it would be interesting to compare this to high rye bourbons instead of our Rye Whiskeys as it is on the sweeter side. Redwood Empire just came out with a high rye mashbill so if I get my hands on that, maybe it'll be a fun comparison!
Thank you so much for all your support for my channel in 2023! Viewing and commenting on this video so quickly after posting really helps out a ton!! I'll always remember and appreciate you were there with me from the beginning!

Old Overholt 10 is amazing. Great review. Happy New Year.
Hey Dave! I had a great time reviewing this Rye! I believe 2023 was a great year for Ryes with Sagamore becoming a bigger presence, Jack Daniel's Bonded and Barrel Strength, and now the Old Overholt 10 Year Cask Strength! (I'm sure there is a ton more I can't list as I don't want this comment to be an essay). With the Bourbon lineups so heavily crowded with the big boys, it seems the Rye, BourRyes, Double or finished casks, and American Whiskeys (bourbons blended with "light whiskey") are trending and expanding at a incredible pace! Hopefully we'll see a ton more great Ryes in 2024!

Nice review David. I am still not a big rye guy, but have been trying more of them. I have the Old Overholt BIB, and will probably pick this up if I run into it. 🥃
Hey Dave! This one is definitely worth the pick up and worth every cent! It is on the sweeter side of the ryes and the fruit will keep you going back to it again and again! I had it over ice (just for you) after recording the video and it actually tones down the initial Rye burst on the palate and the fruit still stands out with the cinnamon finish still there. You'll like it! Once you get a bottle and have a pour or two, let me know how you like it!

I can’t find this anywhere. Dying for a bottle. I also love that the bottle is an OGD114 bottle. Great review.
The bottle shape is really cool 😎. It seems they are increasing distribution as time goes by as now these are available in Total Wine & More here in Southern California and just sitting there, so I'm sure you're area will be getting them soon! Once you get a bottle, let me know how you like it!
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Truly appreciate it and cheers~
Great review David! This one is definitely on my list to buy. I have the Old Overholt 114 and it's dang good. The other juice I'm looking for is the Backbone Old Bones 10 yr Rye and price tag is close to $100. Never had Parker's Heritage 10 yr Rye and no way I'll pay above MSRP. Happy New Year and Cheers!
Hey Jesus! I'm not familiar with the Backbone Old Bones 10 Year Rye... I will need to do some research. I need to more careful when I do some research as I forgot to mention the 114 in the Old Overholt Lineup. I guess the holidays got to me and I got a little lazy.
That's also the reason I don't have a bottle of the Parker's Heritage Rye as I don't mind paying a little over MSRP, but $400 to $500 is just too much.

@@WhiskeyBank 😆 Holidays did it! I don't mind paying a little over MSRP, but damn, not 400-500. Will continue onto 2024 and see your channel grow!
@@TheBloody81 Thank you and I will do my best to provide entertaining and fun content in 2024!
Excellent review as always! I was waiting for this one after the last video! Can't be mad at the OO10 in the comparison as it is easier to find and cheaper!
Hey Stooders! It was a quick comparison, but if the Parker's Heritage scored in the 9's, it would have won (PH needed a little more balance and complexity to get in the 9s, it was sweet dominant, but again, a good thing as 8.8 is a outstanding score). But with the difference in experience being so minor compared to the price and availability, getting the Old Overholt 10 year is just easier on the mind and body (and wallet!).

Nice review! I've been eyeing this one for a bit but the 100 price point is a little high to jump on. I'm going to kill a couple more bottles and pick it up some time next year. Still working on my Knob Creek Rye pick and that's been an okay experience, aged at 5yrs. Happy New Years!
Hey Danny! That is a great idea and the fact you have the discipline to wait till next year is awesome! I do not have that and buy every bottle I can afford 😆. The Knob Creek Single Barrel pick at 115 proof is a wonderful bottle and will make waiting for the Old Overholt a little easier. Thank you so much for all your support in 2023! I hope to be able to deliver better content to you and all my viewers in 2024! Have a wonderful New Years and cheers~
Would love to find this bottle! Thanks for the review
Hey Dustin! There was a huge drop of this bottle in Southern California on December 29th it seems so hopefully it'll come to your area very soon! Once you get this bottle and have a pour or two, let me know how you like it and if you agree with my review!
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and hope you have a wonderful new year! Cheers~
Can't forget their 114 - it's a great value !
Thank you for the reminder!! I can't believe I forgot about the 114! The "excuse" for me was it it's actually really hard to find that Old Overholt 114 here (harder than the 10 year cask strength actually), but that's an excuse, I should have included it in the lineup. I'll make sure to double check my research so I don't exclude or make these kinds of mistakes in future videos!
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Happy New Year and cheers~
Ive never seen the 114 rye here either.
I was just in Kentucky last week and it’s everywhere for around $40. I should have picked up a bottle but I didnt. 😢
Great review. I’m hopeful to get my hands on this bottle at some point
There was a huge drop of this bottle in Southern California recently so it seems the distribution is getting better so let's hope you see it in your area soon! Once you have a pour, let me know how you like it!

Alright Dave! I just ordered this on Sip Whiskey after watching your video bro! Cheers!
Hey Marvin! My cork pops at forever grateful to you 😂. Even made an entire intro out of it 😆. Let me know your thoughts once you get it and have a couple of pours!

@@WhiskeyBank yup that was a great intro!
Great review haven’t heard of this one before I need to find 1 cheers
Hey Chris! I'm glad I introduced you to it! I also didn't know much about it since I only really had their bottled in bond and wasn't sure if was worth the price tag. Only that I did a review (and had a couple pours afterwards), I really do enjoy it and glad I got it!

Have you compared this Old Overholt 10 CS to Jack Daniel’s SBBP Rye?
I have! I would have to say Jack Daniel's SiB Barrel Proof Rye is slightly better as it is slightly more sweeter and smooth. Don't get me wrong, Old Overholt 10 rye is wonderful but the Jack Daniel's is just an awesome rye. It finished 2nd in my whiskey of the year so 😆.
Have you tried both? If so, which one did you like better?
Thanks a ton for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and cheers ~
@@WhiskeyBank Have not tried either but placed an online order for the JD as their rye is nowhere to be found near me. Just subscribed to your so I’ll be checking out more of your videos. Thanks for the reply!
@@tomy2988 anytime! And thanks a million for the sub! 🥰 when you get the JD rye, let me know how you like it!
@@WhiskeyBank Just received the JD Rye. It’s 138 proof!😮 I admit, I’m a little nervous…🤣 I’ll try later tonight.
@@tomy2988 that is some high proof! Let me know your thoughts after a pour (if you can remember them 🤣).
I agree. I give it a 8. It does have a lot of rye profile and after a while it has fruit and sweetness. Great review.
Hey Sean! Glad to hear I was not alone in getting the rye profile up front with the sweet and fruit that follows after it. Hopefully both of our bottles will get better with time!
Thank you so much for all your support for my channel in 2023! I appreciated every single one of your views and comments! Have a awesome New Year and cheers~
@@WhiskeyBank Happy New Year! I was thinking of picking up a backup but there are so many great whiskey out there so decided not to. Ended up with Russel 10, Alijah Craig B522, Larceny C923, and Taylor Single Barrel.
@@mr.seanster I agree, hard to get a "back up" of a $100 bottle. I probably won't do it as well as one bottle is enough of an experience and if I get another one, it'll be next year's release to experience a "new" version.
That is some nice haul!! I heard that Larceny C923 is a winner!
That Old Overholt is one that I have been keeping an eye out for. It just looks good! Great review! Looking forward to the Baker’s 13 review you have in queue! Also, which 1792 is that over you right shoulder? Couldn’t make it out. Can’t wait to til the next one my friend! Cheers! 🥃
Hey Vic! Thank you for the wonderful compliment! It is a good one and if it's within your budget, it's definitely a bottle you should get. It is the 1792 Bottled in Bond on the fridge. I have a couple ideas for the next video but not sure which one I'll do.
I'm looking forward to your videos in 2024 and happy new year! 🥳. Cheers my friend~
Have just got it. Have not had a chance to try it.
Hey Peter! You got a good one! If I think about it now, I should have compared this to the Old Forester Barrel Strength Rye as it's more similarly priced to it and that's what it reminds of. I guess that "10 years old" for both Old Overholt and Parker's Heritage got me.
Once you have a pour or two, let me know your thoughts!

I'm curious how it compares to the 114 or is this like the Jack Daniel's sbbp rye, a whole new animal 🤔 Cheers 🍻
Hey Carl! I never had a bottle of the Old Overholt 114 (and the reason I missed it on the video), but I had a couple pours of it but it was a good rye, but nothing special. The extra age really gives it the fruit that you don't get much of in the 114 that makes a great and wonderful experience. And the finish.... that sweet cinnamon at end... was just so amazing. I know it's just the finish, but that's the last thing you get and since it's so great, you just keep going back for it again and again! The 114 doesn't have that.
Just like JD Bonded Rye is great but definitely worth the upgrade to the JD Single Barrel Barrel Strength Rye, it is worth the upgrade to from the Old Overholt 114 to the 10 Year Cask Strength!

There is no point to aging a rye.
Hey Garrett! I'm sure there is a point as if you don't age it... you'll just get grain 😆. But jokes aside, you're right in that there is a point of "diminishing returns" where the age add a lot of costs (and increases the price), but the quality of the Rye Whiskey isn't greatly improved. It seems the "sweet" spot for Rye Whiskeys for taste and price is around 6 to 8 years.
