A solid flagship whiskey from an up-and-coming whiskey maker out of Columbus, Ohio.
High Bank Distillery Co. is located in Grandview Heights, Ohio, and was co-founded by Adam Hines, who also serves as one of the company’s master distillers. Established in 2017, the company distills their own bourbon. However, the whiskey used in this Whiskey War bottle is sourced and blended by the High Bank Distillery Co.
Whiskey War leads with a mix of summer fruits and caramel underscored by a floral undertone on the nose. Caramel and green grape combine against a slightly herbal backdrop, making for a light but pleasant midpoint. Baking spices, brown sugar, and a hint of seasoned oak define the whiskey’s medium-length finish.
Claiming the company’s namesake, Whiskey War is a sourced blend of American whiskeys that makes for a solid backbone for the company. It’s a whiskey that will please whiskey drinkers who seek out lower proof offerings, with a pleasant delivery of flavors that veers just far off course to offer a flavor profile that is unique enough for the brand. At $40, it’s a solid option for consumers who appreciate a lower proof, easy-sipping whiskey.
