Press Release
A Special Time of Year as Ingram River Aged Releases 2024 Flagship Bourbon
O.H. Ingram’s Annual Ultra-Premium Expression Comprises Just Six Barrels this Year
COLUMBUS, KY (September 10, 2024) – O.H. Ingram River Aged is proud to announce the release of its 2024 Flagship Bourbon. This year, O.H. Ingram’s ultra-premium and highly exclusive expression is made up of just six barrels, so it is anticipated to go quickly. The 2024 Flagship will roll out the first weeks of September, and will be formally introduced to the world at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival in Bardstown, KY on September 14.
A nautical term, the Flagship of a fleet is the one regarded as the lead vessel and considered the most important. As such, it is an apt name for our once-a-year release, as O.H. Ingram’s Flagship Bourbon leads our fleet of award-winning expressions.

Hand Selected Barrels
Like every OH Ingram Flagship Bourbon release, 2024’s barrels were each hand selected for their superior quality and exceptional flavor profiles by Founder Hank Ingram and Master Blender Scott Beyer themselves. This year’s Flagship Bourbon arrives at 117.7 proof after spending six years and six months aging on the original floating rickhouses.
“This is my favorite time of year – when we can share the best of what makes aging on the water so special,” said Ingram. “Everything we make is unique as we harness the power of the Mississippi River, but our Flagship Bourbon stands alone for its complexity and character. This year, we selected six barrels that met our strict criteria and blended together beautifully. The 2024 Flagship is the perfect bourbon for a special occasion – one that tells a story with every sip. We hope you are able to get a hold of this year’s special release to experience this dynamic bourbon for yourself. We are quite proud of it!”
OH Ingram 2024 Flagship Bourbon Tasting Notes (From the Distillery)
- Nose: Aged newsprint, roasted nuts, cherry hard candy, clove and hints of coconut
- Palate: Honeysuckle, orange zest, vanilla, baking spices
- Finish: A very long finish with notes of black tea, dark chocolate, cinnamon and oak
Floating Rickhouses
Inside the floating rickhouses, barrels of O.H. Ingram whiskies spend their years exposed to the climate and constant motion of the Mississippi River. The motion of the river, its high humidity, and natural daily heat cycling ensure that the whiskey never stops working, creating an extraordinary spirit. We call it Mellowed on the Mississippi. You can see full details about the unique aging process here.
Price & Availability
MSRP of the 2024 Flagship Bourbon is $79.99. OH Ingram is available in stores in Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin, as well as online via Seelbach’s.
