A. Overholt, the iconic American whiskey brand with a rich heritage dating back to 1810, has launched its latest offering, A. Overholt, celebrating the legacy of Pennsylvania Rye whiskey. By reintroducing consumers to the traditional style of American whiskey using the original 80% rye grain and 20% soft malted barley mashbill from founder Abraham Overholt, A. Overholt offers a warm and deep spice reminiscent of rye whiskey from the 1800s.
The brand, which has persevered through significant historical events including prohibition, is now led by Freddie Noe, the 8th Generation Master Distiller. Noe upholds the brand’s legacy by crafting A. Overholt as a tribute to its industrious roots and commitment to American whiskey innovation. The whiskey is described as a symbol of hard work, grit, and resilience, embodying the spirit of both Abraham Overholt and the Keystone State.
Despite changes in ownership and production over the years, A. Overholt remains a cornerstone of American Rye Whiskey, blending tradition with modern expertise to honor its past and propel its future. The whiskey, originally born in Pennsylvania during the Industrial Revolution, is now crafted in Clermont, Kentucky, maintaining the longstanding tradition of quality and craftsmanship that defines the Overholt brand.
A. Overholt joins the ranks of this beloved, and trade favorite portfolio currently consisting of Old Overholt 4YO, Old Overholt 4YO Bottled in Bond, and Old Overholt Extra Aged Cask Strength.
