HIGH BANK DROPS SPECIAL RELEASE FOR NATIONAL RUM DAY
COLUMBUS, OH — High Bank Distillery Co., the award-winning Ohio-based craft distillery known for its bold spirits and dedication to innovation, is proud to announce the release of its Whiskey War Barrel Select Batch #28 - Jamaican Rum Cask.
Part of High Bank's acclaimed Barrel Select Series, this one-of-a-kind release showcases the distillery team's passion for experimentation and pushing whiskey beyond traditional boundaries. Each Barrel Select begins with an exceptional whiskey and a carefully sourced finishing cask, creating a spirit that can never be replicated.
This Jamaican Rum Cask is High Bank’s cask strength Whiskey War Double Oaked aged in Jamaican and Agricole rum barrels, blended for a total age statement of 6.5 years.
Adam Hines, High Bank’s Master Distiller and co-founder speaks to this release.
“One of the best parts of our Barrel Select program is the freedom to explore flavor in ways our core lineup doesn't allow,’ said Hines. ‘Rum casks bring incredible depth and complexity, adding notes that complement our whiskey without overshadowing it. Every Barrel Select release is a chance to create something completely unique, and this year's rum finish is one we're especially excited to share."
