America's oldest continually maintained brand of whiskey, Old Overholt is a cult classic rye whiskey beloved for over two centuries. With an unbroken chain of ownership and production that dates back to 1810, Old Overholt was an institution of American whiskey making. However, after enduring two world wars and surviving prohibition only by marketing itself as 'medicinal whiskey', Old Overholt was almost forgotten. Now owned and operated by Beam Suntory, the cult-classic rye whiskey brand has experienced a renaissance in recent years as rye whiskey has reemerged as the drink of choice by many connoisseurs.
