WHISKEY WAR LINE EXPANDS WITH NEW CIGAR CASK
COLUMBUS, OH — Where there’s smoke, there’s flavor.
High Bank Distillery Co. announces their newest product launch - Whiskey War Cigar Cask. This is High Bank’s signature Whiskey War Barrel Proof, given a second maturation in a Brazilian Amburana barrel for as little as 6 or up to 90 days. It will be released at barrel strength at 116 proof, ~58% alc/vol, for a total age statement of over 5 years. Cigar Cask is a rye-heavy mash bill whose nose is dominated by sweet, candied banana and coconut with hints of pineapple and tobacco. Your palate enjoys tobacco and all-spice notes for a long viscous finish.
This product was previously released in November 2023 as a Barrel Select through an OHLQ Barrel Pick. Master Distiller and co-founder Adam Hines speaks to the newest addition to the Whiskey War lineup.
Our Barrel Select series is born from the love of creating unique and uncompromised products for people to enjoy. We love taking our award-winning Barrel Proof product as a base and seeing what new flavors we can create by aging it in rare and unique barrels.
The OHLQ Barrel Pick of Cigar Cask was extremely popular, selling out within days around the entire state, which lead us to make this a new addition to our Whiskey War lineup. This product was also submitted to the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and received a Double Gold! It is great to see an unreleased whiskey being recognized at such a prestigious, national level for it’s very first batch.
We are excited to get this product in the hands of more whiskey fans and see this on liquor store shelves across Ohio and online soon at Seelbach’s.
- Master Distiller, Adam Hines
