The following indicators should be taken as only a guide and not a set of hard and fast rules. Some \"premium\" whiskeys really are quite terrible, while some mass market products are good enough to pour into a decanter and serve to the Duke of Edinburgh.
Hop Sing Laundromat bought up the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board's entire stash of Old Overholt's 92.6-proof rye whiskey earlier this month, a haul that totaled 835 limited-release bottles, said Lê, owner of the speakeasy-style North Korean cocktail bar in Chinatown.
The distillery had conducted a one-time release of 600 cases of this 11-year-old spirit in 2020 to celebrate the label's 210th anniversary. To honor the whiskey brand's roots, the cases were distributed exclusively in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
All the whiskey distributed to Ohio sold out. The whiskey was featured in Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores across Pennsylvania and was popular during the 2020 holiday season, but PLCB spokesperson Shawn Kelly said that the product did not sell through as quickly as anticipated. So the PLCB had these bottles sitting in distribution centers and Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores across the state.
The PLCB agreed and shipped 75 cases of the rye whiskey to the Fine Wine & Good Spirits store in Flourtown, Montgomery County. The cases had to be collected from distribution centers and Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores across the state before being shipped.
Lê said that he purchased the entire stock so his customers could enjoy the rare rye whiskey at a reasonable price. He also wanted to prevent out-of-state vendors from buying up the bottles and jacking up the prices in future years.
In 1810, Abraham Overholt began distilling Rye Whiskey in Western Pennsylvania, and Rye has been the company's focus ever since. Old Overholt is one of the oldest cornerstones of American Rye Whiskey.NON-CHILL FILTEREDThis Rye is non-chill filtered, which gives the whiskey a richer, fuller flavor. In cold temperatures, the whiskey may appear cloudy or have visible particles which is both normal and natural.86 Proof
What makes a good American whiskeySingle barrel productionLimited availabilitySherry cask agingCollectible bottle stoppersRhyming with \"Happy Stan Crinkle\"HYPE I don't think whiskey has to be \"special\" to be good. Drinkability, after all, is in the mouth of the beholder. And sometimes, I just want a Manhattan that won't distract me from my conversation. Or a Sazerac that doesn't have a triple digit proof. Old Overholt is perfect for cocktails that you want to sip with ease. Plus, it's quite the national establishment, boasting over 200 years in production. It's a basic, starter rye in every sense: bright, grassy, and subtly sweet, with a comfy 40% ABV. Sometimes it okay to be basic!
I recently reviewed Rittenhouse Rye, and like that bottle, its name stretches back to Pennsylvania whiskey making. As the story goes during revolutionary times the British blocked shipments of molasses for rum making. Colonists then turned their attention to native grains/cereals like rye. With that, Pennsylvania became a hot bed of whiskey production which began a tradition of rye whiskey making.
Abraham Overholt made rye whiskey on his farm in Westmoreland County, PA. Around 1810 he and his brother took their operation commercial. As farmers, they distilled about 6-8 gallons of whiskey a day and then increased capacity to 200 gallons a day. Eventually Old Overholt became the best selling rye whiskey in the U.S.
Jim Beam has been producing rye whiskey for a while now under various labels. Jim Beam Rye Whiskey and Old Overholt were considered entry-level labels while Knob Creek Rye versions were designed to be more premium (Single Barrels, Double Barreled and a Cask Strength version). To be honest, all of these labels are generally not as well received as other brands of rye whiskey. I personally find most Beam-style rye whiskies to be hot, nutty and peppery.
This brand has what might possibly be the most stereotypical Pennsylvanian background. In 1800, Henry Oberholzer, a Mennonite farmer of German descent, moved to a 250+ acre farm in western Pennsylvania. His family had a long history of distilling a version of rye whiskey common in Germany and so Henry set about applying that knowledge to build a new distillery in West Overton, PA. That style of German-inspired Pennsylvania rye came to be known as the Old Monongahela style.
Frick died in 1919, leaving his share to Andrew Mellon (who is probably most famous these days as the wealthy businessman who founded the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, which was later incorporated into the Carnegie Mellon University). When prohibition hit in 1920, Mellon was by was Secretary of the Treasury at the time under the Harding administration and was thus able to secure a permit to continue producing medicinal whiskey and keep the business in operation. However, under political pressure from the prohibitionist lobby, Mellon would sell his shares in the company shortly thereafter in 1925. The company would eventually be owned by the National Distillers Products Co.
After the Second World War, whiskey fell out of favor with the American drinking public and sales plummeted. By the 1960s, Old Overholt was the last remaining nationally distributed straight rye whiskey on the market, and sales continued to decline until the brand was eventually sold to Jim Beam in 1987 and production moved from the Pennsylvania distillery to their combined distillation facility in Kentucky.
That's right, folks, a Bonded version of Old Overholt. Distilled in one season, at one distillery, and bottled at 100 proof. This straight rye whiskey is aged for four years in new, charred American oak. Product launched in February 2018 with availability limited to the US.
Rye whiskey has enjoyed an amazing renaissance over the last decade (or less) owing largely to the parallel rise in popularity of pre-prohibition cocktails. Straight rye is similar to bourbon in that it is made from a mash of grains, usually distilled on a continuous column still, and aged in new charred American oak barrels. In fact, a legal straight rye whiskey might be 51% rye grain and 49% corn, while a legal straight bourbon whiskey might be 49% rye grain and 51% corn! (Although nobody does this, to my knowledge.) Straight rye is also usually mashed with a small amount of malted barley (around 5%), which is useful for its naturally-occurring enzymes. These help to break down the troublesome rye grain and help release its sugars. By all accounts, rye by itself is a very tricky grain to distill because of its tendency to turn into a sticky, tar-like mess in the mash tun and still. This may be why 100% rye whiskies are uncommon, although they do exist.if(typeof ez_ad_units != 'undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[300,250],'scotchnoob_com-medrectangle-3','ezslot_5',132,'0','0'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-scotchnoob_com-medrectangle-3-0');
Established in 1810 by the upright, forward-thinking Abraham Overholt, his namesake whiskey is recognized today as the oldest enduring American Rye in the United States. Made and sold without interruption, this whiskey has seen a thing or two over the centuries. Bottled with a commitment to quality exemplified by an assertive Rye taste, Overholt is a powerful ally to bartenders who prefer it for their cocktails. At one time, it was the most popular spirit in the country. One the Beam family took note of and vowed to continue distilling the way Abraham wanted: proudly true to its industrious spirit.
For a century and a half, Overholt straight rye whiskey had been a benchmark of quality, old and strong and full of flavor. Ulysses S. Grant drank it and so did JFK, and now it was hovering over the bottom shelf.
The way the whole thing works is you fill the top two compartments with your wash and let steam into the bottom one. The steam rises through the J-pipes and bubbles up through the wash in the middle compartment, stripping off the alcohol. The alcohol-rich steam exits through the top, pre-heating the wash in the top compartment on the way, goes through the thumper, which further purifies it, and gets condensed into whiskey. Meanwhile, you use a valve to drop the depleted wash from the middle compartment to the bottom one and the top to the middle, filling up the top with new wash. When the wash in the bottom compartment is stripped of alcohol, you let it out of the still and repeat the dropping-down process. Easy. 781b155fdc
