The original rye that is bold, honest, and still holding the line since 1810.
The Bartender's Heartbeat
If American whiskey had a Mount Rushmore, Old Overholt would be carved in stone. This is the rye that never blinked. Bottled-in-Bond and proud of it, this is the real deal, 100 proof of spicy, no-nonsense character. The nose is all rye spice, cracked pepper, and a whisper of mint, rounded out by brown sugar. The palate is firm and assertive, with notes of pepper, cinnamon, and a clean, dry finish.
Following the letter of the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act, it’s a whiskey that comes with a government seal of approval and generations of respect. It doesn’t ask for attention. It’s earned it.
How to Enjoy
This is a quintessential cocktail rye. Use it to build a proper Manhattan, an Old Fashioned, or a Sazerac with historical accuracy and backbone.
