WHISKEY WAR BARREL SELECT NAMED BEST AMERICAN WHISKEY AT THE 2023 SPRING JOHN BARLEYCORN AWARDS
COLUMBUS, OH — Continuing the 2023 nationally-recognized award streak, High Bank takes a Best In Class award at the Spring John Barleycorn Awards.
The John Barleycorn Awards is an international competition created by spirits writers to recognize the preeminent distillers, marketers, and designers of the spirits industry.
The competition gets its name from the centuries-old spirits metaphor John Barleycorn, who was featured in the works of writers, poets, and lyricists like Jack London, Robert Burns, and Steve Winwood.
Each entry was blind-tasted and scored on a 100-point scale for appearance, aroma, taste and finish. Awards were determined based on points.
High Bank Distillery Co.’s Whiskey War Barrel Select Batch #11 - Double Double Pinot Noir was named Best American Whiskey.
Master Distillery and co-founder Adam Hines speaks to this honor.
Coming off of winning Best American Blended Whiskey at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, we were excited to see how our Whiskey War line competes at other prestigious spirit competitions.
Winning Best American Whiskey, means that we beat out some of the largest names in the spirit industry in the U.S - including and excluding the “blended” category. This win is huge for us.
Our Barrel Select program continues to be a creative outlet for our team. It shows our Barrel Proof product that goes into these unique barrels, like a Pinot Noir cask, is consistent in flavor and quality.
