Ingram Distillery is bringing bourbon back to its river roots—literally.

Join us for a fascinating conversation with Hank from Ingram Distillery in Columbus, Kentucky, who’s doing something no other bourbon producer is doing: aging 100% of their whiskey on floating barges. What started as an MBA class project ten years ago has become a fully operational distillery that opens for tours in April 2026.

In this episode, we explore:

  • The historical connection between bourbon and river transportation

  • Why aging bourbon on water creates unique flavor profiles

  • The challenges of managing 1,000+ barrels across multiple barges

  • Ingram’s new bartender-friendly release: Uncharted Bourbon

  • The family’s 165-year history in river shipping

Spirits Discussed:

  • OH Ingram Flagship Bourbon

  • OH Ingram Rye

  • Uncharted Bourbon (92 proof, $40)

Guest: Hank, Founder & President, Ingram Distillery
Location: Columbus, Kentucky (Far Western Kentucky)
Opening: April 2026 (tickets on sale December 2025)
