OHIO LIQUOR TEAMS UP WITH HIGH BANK TO RELEASE 9 WHISKEY WAR BARREL PICKS
COLUMBUS, OH — Ohio Liquor (OHLQ) is drinking and supporting local. They teamed up with High Bank Distillery Co. to hand-pick nine single barrel releases (the most ever for an Ohio Distillery).
High Bank Distillery stands for uncompromised quality - from expertly distilling or blending their whiskey, to aging, to hand crafting and labeling each bottle. The Whiskey War line is nationally recognized and has recieved the highest awards multiple years in a row at prestigious spirits competitions worldwide.
OHLQ picked five Double Oaked barrels, two Double Double Oaked barrels and two Barrel Select barrels.
High Bank’s Master Distiller, Adam Hines, discusses his excitement around these releases.
“We are thrilled that the state of Ohio took the time to hand-pick nine unique barrels. Our entire team is truly honored and grateful to be selected by an organization that leads the way in Ohio spirits.
Double Oaked and Double Double Oaked are currently seasonal releases, so oak-lovers should get them while they can!
This is the first time our Whiskey War Barrel Select products will be distributed to liquor stores across the state. I can’t wait to hear whiskey-lovers feedback from our Amburana and Cognac Barrel Selects. This is the first batch of its kind in these casks. Our classic Whiskey War Barrel Proof flavor is well balanced with the smoky, tropical flavors of the cigar cask and grape layers of the cognac barrel.
Happy hunting, Ohio!”
-Master Distiller and co-founder Adam Hines
