A bottle of rye whiskey

Old Overholt is distilled by A. Overholt & Co, a subsidiary of Beam Global Spirits, at the

Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, Kentucky, but originally in Broad Ford, Pennsylvania,

35 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. It is one of the few straight rye whiskies available at

most liquor stores in the United States. The company claims to have been established

in 1810, and the bottle states that at 80 proof (40% alcohol), this is a four year aged

whiskey. The whiskey is named for Abraham Overholt, a distiller and grandfather of

 Henry Clay Frick.

Parodied in a Warner Brothers cartoon, and the Terry Pratchett novels The Dark Side of the Sun

and Soul Music as "Old Overcoat".
