Thanks For Listening! Tell a Friend!1 hr 4 min - Old Overholt 10 year and Peterson's Irish Flake!
Send us Fan Mail
- Interesting things about the distillery:
- Said to be America's oldest continually maintained brand of whiskey, it was founded in West Overton, Pennsylvania, in 1810.
- 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 currently distilled at the Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, KY
- Henry Oberholzer (Anglicized to “Overholt”), a German Mennonite farmer, moved to West Overton, Pennsylvania, on the banks of Jacobs Creek in Western Pennsylvania in 1800. His family came from the area of Germany which specialized in distilling “korn”, or rye whiskey, and Henry took up the tradition.
- In 1810, Henry’s son took over the management of the distillery and made it into a business.
- By the 1820s, the distillery was putting out 12 to 15 gallons of rye whiskey per day.
- By 1859, Overholt incorporated his business as “A. Overholt & Co.” He operated out of a new distillery building that was six stories high, 100 feet long, and which could produce 860 gallons per day.
- Old Overholt was one of six distilleries allowed to continue issuing bottled-in-bond, government stamped, pints with a dosage cup atop the cap and doctor’s prescription attached to the back.
- Maybe because Andrew Mellon was a partner in the business and he was the secretary of the treasury under Harding
- Mellon Sold his shares in 1925 due to concerns from prohabisionists
- Beam bought out the old overholt in 1986, when they made the purchase of Dekuyper Peachtree Schnapps. This was during a time when brown liquor was frowned upon and clear liquors were in.
- Our Bottle:
- Pipe Pairings: 80 proof- Cornell and Diehl gentleman caller.
- BIB- eight state burley Cornell and Diel
- 114 - peterson Hyde Park
- 10 year- Irish Flake by peterson

- Liberty Pole Old Monongahela Full Proof Rye!
Send us Fan Mail
- Interesting things about the distillery:
- Expanded in 2023 and now makes about 2000 bottles a year
- Pot still only
- Uses Bloody Butcher corn
- Low yield, about 25% less
- A “Liberty Pole” was kind of like a banner posted by the Mingo Creek Society to protest the excise tax imposed on whiskey to help pay for the War of Independence
- Whiskey Rebellion
- Hamilton Vs Jefferson
- Hamilton wanted a stronger federal Government and felt the nation should assume the debt from the states from the war
- Jefferson believed the states should act more independently and pay their own debts
- Hamilton was the Treasury Secretary and won the battle
- Excise Whiskey tax of 1791
- Taxed the production of whiskey, not the sale
- Remained the law until Jefferson repealed it in 1802
- The effect in Western PA
- Western PA was mainly a grain economy. Many people were paid in grain, and it was easier to transport whiskey over raw grain
- Whiskey was a way of life, and everyone drank it as it was safer than water, a lot of times
- The battle
- Only one small skirmish
- Washington himself led about 13,000 troops against the few thousand rebels.
- The only time a sitting president ever was on the battlefield leading troops
- Rebels disbanded after seeing the force
- The ending
- Only 2 people were charged with treason, and both were pardoned by Washington
- MANY of the rules of protest we think about today were established here, as well as thoughts on free speech

- High West Prairie Bourbon!
Send us Fan Mail
- Based out of Utah
- High West Distillery was founded in 2006 by David Perkins and his wife, Jane. David, a former biochemist, was inspired to open his own distillery after seeing the parallels between the fermentation and distilling process and his own work in biochemistry during a trip to a whiskey distillery in Kentucky.
- High West began with humble roots, opening a small, 250-gallon still and Saloon in an historic livery stable and garage.
- Started with sourced but are now phasing that out with blending their own with the sourced to finish up the sourced
