2025 WHISKEY WAR BARREL SELECT
GUNPOWDER SERIES
OUR FIRST EVER CASK STRENGTH WHISKEY WAR DOUBLE OAKED
RELEASING JULY 25TH
“Whiskey War-lovers have wanted cask strength Double Oaked for a long time and it’s finally here.
Each Gunpowder Series bottles tell a unique story. The four individual barrels reflect a part of the origin story of our Whiskey War brand. Prohibition is said to have started just 12 miles from our original High Bank Distillery facility, in Westerville, Ohio. We wanted to pay homage to that journey with these four unique (never before released) expressions.”
