Old Overholt 10 Year Old Cask Strength Straight Rye

A single year, a single place, in every single drop. In 2012 we laid down rye in our unique Escalator Warehouse V. A deceased later we selected the best to be blended and bottled, cask strength and unfiltered. This Kentucky style rye is the result - spice, depth and unmistakable Overholt character.

Old Forester 1924 10 Year Old Tasting Notes

Nose: Bold, yet sweet with a bouquet of mellowed oak, sweet corn, and vanilla underpinned by warm black pepper and cinnamon-toast spice.

Palate: The palate is an explosion of delicate flavors, nice and delightful mouthfeel.

Finish: A long finish with lingering rye spice and vanilla. Balanced yet complex flavors of brown sugarand honey underlie leather and charred oak.

Distillery Information

By the 1970s, the Broad Ford site had descended into ruin. Although the massive grain silos, warehouse, water tower, boiler house, and warehouse remained their neglect and exposure to the elements made the site a prime target for vandals and scrappers. After a recent visit to West Overton Village in Scottdale, I became aware of Broad Ford’s existence. It’s one of those places that if you didn’t know it’s there you’d probably (never?) miss it. Most people only learn about it through trips on the Youghiogheny River, because of a connection to Connellsville, or through reading this post. Just outside of Connellsville, Broad Ford is nestled along the Youghiogheny after a short drive through some farmland. After rounding a bend, you see it rising against the skyline — the six enormous grain silos and the intricate brick smokestack. Although in ruin, it is still a sight to behold. The distillery has been silent for over 50 years, but standing at the base of these massive yellow buildings gives you a sense of how imposing the site must have been when it was in operation. The first building we encountered was the granary bins and elevator. Six gigantic silos held the grains which would be dispensed into the buildings below. A quick look inside the building’s windows revealed some of the equipment still in place. A conveyor was used to connect the granary bins to the adjacent boiler house and engine room but that is long gone, most likely used for scrap. What you can see if you look closely at the windows of the office building is ornate ironwork used for the handrails on the stairs which are still intact.
