Old Overholt

Old Overholt is a historic brand of American rye whiskey. It has a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1810. Old Overholt was originally produced in Pennsylvania and gained popularity as a high-quality rye whiskey during the 19th century. The brand has since changed hands multiple times and is currently owned by Beam Suntory.

Old Overholt is known for its traditional approach to whiskey production. It is made from a mash bill that consists of at least 51% rye grain, giving it a distinct spicy flavor profile. The whiskey is aged in charred oak barrels, allowing it to develop complex flavors and aromas over time. Old Overholt produces a range of rye whiskey styles, including both straight and blended varieties. It is a popular choice among whiskey enthusiasts for its smoothness and versatility. Fun fact: Old Overholt was one of the few whiskey brands to survive Prohibition by obtaining a medicinal whiskey license.
