Watershed Distillery and Ohio Liquor (OHLQ) are thrilled to announce another OHLQ Exclusive selection of Cask Strength Single Barrel Bourbons.

Each barrel was hand-selected by team members at Watershed Distillery and OHLQ, who tasted through Watershed’s private stock to ensure bourbon enthusiasts could discover unique and flavorful bottles throughout the state.

Seven exceptional barrel picks will go to OHLQ locations across Ohio and Watershed Distillery’s bottle shop. Watershed’s single barrel releases are 100% distilled, aged, and bottled here in Ohio. The barrels were selected by Watershed Distillery and OHLQ exclusively for Ohio and are not available outside of our state. Unblended, single-barrel selections retain distinctive flavors and features imparted by the barrel in which they were aged.

This limited selection of single barrels will hit shelves the week of August 28, 2023, and will be priced at $59.99 (plus tax). Purchases are limited to one bottle per expression per customer.

To mark this release, Watershed Distillery team members will host a series of bottle signings throughout the state the week of August 28. Watershed Distillery Founder Greg Lehman will host three bottle signings in central Ohio, and Cask Manager Ryan Venrick will also host a bottle signing in northeast Ohio. Details for each bottle signing can be found on our events calendar.

Use the availability map to find these products at an OHLQ location near you. Please note: inventory will be made available as OHLQ locations receive their shipments.
