Old Overholt is America's oldest continually maintained brand of whiskey.[1] It was founded in West Overton, Pennsylvania, in 1810.[1] Old Overholt is a rye whiskey distilled by A. Overholt & Co., currently a subsidiary of Beam Suntory, which is a subsidiary of Suntory Holdings of Osaka, Japan. It is produced at the Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, Kentucky. It is one of the most commonly available straight rye whiskies in the United States, where it is available at most liquor stores. It is aged for four years[2][3] and since early 2020 is non-chill filtered and bottled at 86 proof (43% alcohol by volume).[4][5] A four-year bottled in bond, 100 proof version was released in late 2017. Old Overholt has been called a "foundation stone of American whiskey" because of its long history.[1]
