Old Overholt® is the oldest of The Olds™, a relic you can drink. Old Overholt Straight Rye Whiskey was the most popular spirit in the country after Prohibition, thanks to its distinctive flavor and overall appeal. When it came to making his whiskey, Abraham Overholt, one of the fathers of American distilling, lived by three standards: work hard, stand fast and don’t waver. These three standards were the basis upon which he built Old Overholt, and they continue to be followed to this day. Old Overholt has a rich tradition of rye whiskey making and is renowned for its outstanding presence in classic cocktails such as the Sazarac and the Old Style Manhattan.
