One of those that has gotten arguably the most attention is Old Overholt, and the latest example of this is the 2026 edition of the brand’s Extra Aged Cask Strength expression. Old Overholt is best known as a budget rye whiskey that still manages to deliver a lot of flavor. Beam has owned Old Overholt since 1987, and for many years the core expression was a bottom shelf bottle that was still a favorite of many bartenders. “For each release, our blending team searches across our warehouses to identify the barrels that best express the character of Old Overholt at a cask strength proof,” he told Robb Report. Old Overholt Extra Aged Cask Strength 11YR is available starting this month at select retailers around the country (SRP $110).
