O.H. Ingram River Aged Bourbon | Aged on a Boat, Not Land
In this episode of Aussie Bourbon Lovers, we taste O.H. Ingram River Aged Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey — a bourbon that ages on a floating barge on the Mississippi River.
We discuss how the movement of water, temperature fluctuations, and humidity create a completely different aging environment, producing a rich, smooth, and surprisingly “juicy” bourbon that feels far older than its four years.
From the story of O.H. Ingram to the science behind river aging and our own tasting notes, this episode explores how a simple idea ... putting bourbon on a barge, has turned into one of the most fascinating aging experiments in Kentucky.
