OHIO LIQUOR PICKS FOUR EXCLUSIVE WHISKEY WAR SINGLE BARREL PICKS INSPIRED BY OHIO’S NATURAL WONDERS NAMED “THE TRAVELER’S SERIES”
COLUMBUS, OH — High Bank Distillery is proud to announce the release of The Traveler’s Series, a limited-edition collection of four OHLQ single barrel picks crafted to celebrate the beauty and spirit of Ohio. Each unique expression reflects both the artistry of whiskey-making and the majesty of Ohio’s landscapes, inviting drinkers to savor a journey through some of the state’s most iconic natural destinations.
The OHLQ team hand-picked one Whiskey War Barrel Select, one Whiskey War Double Oaked, one Whiskey War Double Double Oaked and one Whiskey War Cigar Cask single barrel.
High Bank’s Master Distiller, Adam Hines, discusses his excitement around these releases.
“We wanted to create a collection that not only showcases our craft, but also tells the story of Ohio’s natural heritage,’ says Hines. ‘The Traveler’s Series is about adventure, appreciation, and the journey – both in a glass and across our state. We love showcasing that Ohio has great whiskey, not we want to showcase all the beautiful adventures too.’
In line with its commitment to sustainability, High Bank Distillery is proud to highlight its ongoing partnership with 1% for the Planet, pledging to donate one percent of annual sales to environmental organizations dedicated to protecting the natural world. “The Traveler’s Series is more than whiskey,” Hines continues. “It’s a way for us to honor the places we love, while giving back to ensure they remain for generations to come.”
