Press Release

COLUMBUS, KY (September 23, 2025) –  The Ingram Distillery continued its upward momentum today with the announcement it is now available in Alaska. The move up north now means that Ingram’s portfolio of award-winning whiskies is available in eight states, with future expansion on the horizon.

Ingram’s game-changing and unique method of aging its spirits directly on the Mississippi River continues to make waves.

“Alaska knows adventure and so does our whiskey. As we continue our journey, we’re excited to bring that adventure north to a state with a rich history and breathtaking beauty that inspires us every time we visit,” said Founder and Proprietor Hank Ingram. “Every sip tells a story, and we’re proud to share ours in Alaska. Our whiskey is river aged and adventure made – for those who crave both the journey and the finish.”

Today’s announcement comes on the heels of The Ingram Distillery’s launching of its new wheated bourbon: Uncharted. Packaged in 100% recycled glass, Uncharted, like all Ingram whiskies, has spent its entire life on the water. It joins the highly-acclaimed O.H. Ingram River Aged series and the annual ultra-premium Flagship bourbon.

Inside the original floating barrelhouses, The Ingram Distillery whiskey barrels spend their years exposed to the magic of the Mississippi River. The motion of the river, its high humidity, and natural daily heat cycling ensure that the whiskey never stops working. We call it Mellowed on the Mississippi. You can see full details about the unique aging process here.

About The Ingram Distillery

The Ingram Distillery was founded in 2015, when Hank Ingram pioneered the first permanent floating rickhouses to age award-winning whiskies in Western Kentucky.

Moored on the banks of the Mississippi River in Columbus, KY, The Ingram Distillery’s barrelhouses were custom built inside former grain barges. They now house a 2-story barrel maturation operation that never leaves the water. While having a similar look to those on land, Ingram’s barrelhouses have a very different feel.  

The Ingram Distillery creates the only whiskey in the world that spends its entire life on the Mississippi River – years of exposure to the microclimate and humidity of the river, along with its constant motion, creates complexity through a unique interaction between whiskey and oak.

Presently available on shelves in Alaska, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin, as well as online via Seelbach’s.
