West Overton Distilling is a craft distillery that supports the educational mission of West Overton Village, a nonprofit museum and historic site. From the early 19th century to Prohibition in 1920, West Overton was home to a large and successful distilling operation. Since 2020, West Overton Distilling has revived the tradition of making rye whiskey on site in our modern distillery, located in a renovated 19th century barn.
West Overton Distilling produces Monongahela rye whiskey, considered the classic American whiskey before Prohibition. Learn about the history and science of rye whiskey production while enjoying a sample or cocktail. West Overton Distilling is a stop on the Laurel Highlands Pour Tour.
