What do Fink’s Jewelers and O.H. Ingram have in common, besides carrying on family legacies? Our two companies are rooted in the experience of quality and fine-crafted goods. This past September, our rich histories collided when Orrin Henry “Hank” Ingram III, the founder of O.H. Ingram, invited Marc and Matthew Fink on a VIP tour and barrel- picking experience at their floating facility on the Mississippi River in Columbus, Kentucky. During their visit, Marc and Matthew toured the floating barrel houses, learning more about Hank Ingram’s family heritage on the river and the company’s proprietary river-aging technique used to craft their whiskeys. Following the barge tour, they headed back to the lodge, where they tasted a selection of hand-picked rye and bourbon casks before choosing the perfect barrel for the unveiling of our Franklin, Tennessee, location. Family-owned sister company Ingram Industries has been moving
goods on river barges up and down the Mississippi River since 1857. Carrying on a five-generation tradition, O.H. Ingram now uses the mighty river to age its golden libations. Ingram’s specific mash bills are distilled to perfection at Green River Distilling Co. in Owensboro, Kentucky, and then spend their entire lives on O.H. Ingram’s floating barrel houses moored to the banks of the Mississippi River. Here, the whiskey stays for a minimum of four years, churning with the motion of the water. It’s also exposed to the constant fluctuations of the weather and humidity in the region, resulting in a fleet of rich, smooth, and flavorful whiskeys. Since the unveiling of both the hand-selected barrel and the Franklin location, the whiskey has been bottled, stamped with Fink’s logo, and handed out on special occasions, giving many of our customers the chance to enjoy both worlds of diamonds and fine whiskey.
