Old Overholt 1916 Bottled In Bond 1923

A 1916 vintage expression of whiskey from Old Overholt produced at their Broad Ford site as noted by the registered distillery #3 note on the tax strip. Bottled in bond at 50% Abv in 1923 this was bottled explicitly for medicinal use during prohibition. Overholt operated both the West Overton and Broad Ford distilleries under one banner, but when prohibition West Overton was closed and the remaining equipment moved to Broad Ford. Broad Ford bottled whiskey during prohibition for medicinal purposes and was reopened post prohibition by National Distillers before it ultimately closed in 1958. The Old Overholt label was produced throughout the 20th century using sourced distillate and in 1987 Jim Beam acquired National Distillers, including Old Overholt. Hence 90s and onwards bottles are crafted from Jim Beam distilled rye whiskey.
