Overholt Rye Whiskey 1911 (1 BT Pint)

Old Overholt Rye Whiskey 1911

Ullage: mid shoulder, capsule slightly stained, front label very slightly stained and nicked, this bottle came from an original case of 24

This whiskey is thought to have drawn from the personal collection of the financier Andrew Mellon, who owned the Old Overholt Distillery for a time in the early 20th century. After Prohibition Mellon’s nephew Richard King Mellon had the whiskey rebottled, with simple labels stating its vintage – in this case, 1911. The whiskey remained in the Mellon family until the death of Richard Mellon Scaife, who as an heir to the family fortune had inherited several cases of it, then left it to his estate to sell. The bottles have since become rare collector’s items, as valued for their place in history as they are for their taste.
