If you’re a fan of rye whiskey, you know all about Old Overholt. Founded in 1810, it’s America’s longest continually operating whiskey brand. The four-year-old straight rye is one of the most underrated whiskeys on the market and a favorite of drinkers and bartenders.

With all of its history in the US whiskey marketplace, it should be no surprise that this iconic brand is collaborating with a clothing brand to launch a coat designed for sipping whiskey.

What could be better than imbibing the complex, balanced flavors of oaky wood, sweet corn, vanilla beans, toffee, and herbal, peppery rye while you’re adorned in a coat designed specifically for this task?

It’s called the Seeker x  Overholt Chore Coat, and it was crafted to be worn by a bartender working a hectic, long shift, a home mixologist crafting drinks for friends and family, or simply a whiskey fan sipping on a well-made, memorable whiskey—all while remaining stylish and comfortable.

This coat was produced in the US, specifically in Los Angeles. Crafted by local artisans, it has a pigment-dyed finish that gives it the appearance of a timeless, vintage garment. You might consider buying it for yourself, but it would also make the perfect gift for the whiskey fan in your life.

Where can I buy it?

Aquavit: the centuries-old spirit that’s more than just “black death”
What exaclty is aquavit?
Alcohol tasting: Aquavit, Bitter orange snaps, Bask, Arrack punsch

If you’ve ever been to Iceland, there’s a chance a local tour guide has offered you a chance to partake in a less-than-appealing local rite of passage. I’m talking about eating fermented shark followed by a shot of Brennivin. I, like many travelers to Iceland, have taken part in this life-changing experience. I can tell you that the shark is the biggest acquired taste I’ve ever been a part of.

The Brennivin, on the other hand, was actually memorable in a good way. Even though it’s referred to as “black death,” this strong Icelandic spirit is a neutral spirit made from potatoes. It gets its unique flavor from the use of caraway seeds. It’s the country’s main type of Aquavit and it's the national drink. But it’s definitely not the only country that makes this unique spirit. You might be wondering what Aquavit is.
