Overholt Rye Release | Overholt Extra Aged Cask Strength 11YR
Over the last few years there’s been a refocus on Overholt, as evident through the launch of A.Overholt and the Extra Aged Cask Strength brand extension. Today, we celebrate the launch of Old Overholt Extra Aged Cask Strength 11YR 2026 Edition.
This expression of Old Overholt’s Kentucky Style Rye delivers a distinct & rich liquid, full of balanced rye spice flavor complimented by notes of vanilla, caramel, and charred oak complexity. Released once a year in small quantities, this expression offers a high-value vintage style liquid designed and blended from select warehouses and highly curated barrels.
Year 4 of this annual release launches as an 11yr, unfiltered, Cask Strength American Rye. Distilled and barreled in the spring season of 2014 and laid down in 3 distinct warehouses in Clermont Kentucky to ensure incredible consistency and gentle flavor mellowing over time.
