Old Overholt Straight Rye Whiskey

Old Overholt® is the oldest of The Olds, a relic you can drink. This famous Straight Rye Whiskey has a distinctive flavor and appeal that, after Prohibition, made it the most popular spirit in the country. Agreeable means you get along. And Old Overholt does just that. It’s renowned for its outstanding mixability in classic cocktails like the Old Style Manhattan.

This is named after Abraham Overholt, a Pennsylvania farmer that had switched his focus from farming to distilling in the early 1800's. At beginning of Prohibition, the whiskey was granted a medicinal license and the popularity of the brand surged. The brand has survived, but has been produced in Kentucky for some time now and currently owned by Beam.
