Aged at least five years, this whiskey from Columbus, Ohio distillery High Bank spent 16 months of its maturation period in a second, fresh charred oak barrel.
A huge improvement from High Bank's standard Whiskey War, this expression from High Bank is a rich, full-bodied expression that stands well on its own and easily puts High Bank on the map of new producers to watch.

House Review
Nose:
Bold char, maple and baking spice. Light notes of honeydew, faint citrus.
Taste:
Moderate mouthfeel, pleasant viscosity and barrel char. Cinnamon, clove, honey, a touch of bitter oak. Ethanol is in check here, adds a really pleasant richness.
Finish:
Long finish that reminds me of a s’more — it’s packed with cocoa, graham cracker, marshmallow sweetness and a touch of ash and char.
Overall:
A huge improvement from High Bank's standard Whiskey War, this expression from High Bank is a rich, full-bodied expression that stands well on its own and easily puts High Bank on the map of new producers to watch.
