Rachel Harb O.H. Ingram

O.H. Ingram River Aged has brought industry veteran and sales and marketing expert Rachel Harb on board as its new General Manager. The addition is the latest evidence that O.H.  Ingram is making waves in the whiskey world and continuing to secure an ever-increasing share in the  marketplace.  

With nearly 20 years of experience in brand building, Harb comes to O.H. Ingram most recently from Maker’s  Mark, where she was Director of Private Selection and Advocacy. While there, she stood up their social media  strategy and platforms, brought the brand to life in hundreds of impactful activations, built major partnerships, and created global trade advocacy programming. She also played a pivotal role in launching and expanding  

Maker’s Mark Private Selection – the brand’s one-of-a-kind custom barrel program experience where clients from around the world have a hand in creating their own unique batch of bourbon.

“O.H. Ingram is a dynamic brand with a story that is truly unique within our industry. It’s one of the top reasons  why I wanted to join the team,” Harb said in a news release. “But most importantly in my book, the whiskey itself is stellar. It isn’t  just a fascinating maturation process – it is an impactful one. The proof is on the palate. I’ve spent my career  building brands up, and I’m confident we will be repeating that success here.

“In a crowded marketplace, you  must be strategic in how you break through the noise in an authentic way that will resonate. I’ve been incredibly  impressed with what this team has already achieved, and my job now is to build on that foundation and take us  to the next level.” 

Harb is also a proud member of Leadership Kentucky’s class of 2022 and was named one of Louisville Business  First’s 40 Under 40 in 2013.  

“Bringing such an enterprising and well-respected industry person like Rachel into the fold marks a pivotal  moment for us,” Founder Hank Ingram said. “She brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to O.H. Ingram,  and she and I will work closely to further our brand and story. We’ve seen great growth in our first few years  but we have bigger plans ahead. We are well-positioned for future success, and I’m confident our best days  are ahead.” 

Moored on the banks of the Mississippi River in Columbus, KY, O.H. Ingram barrels are exposed to the  microclimate and humidity of the river, along with its drastic rise and fall, to provoke a unique interaction  between oak and spirit. These conditions are not available inside a traditional barrelhouse, and the result is a  whiskey with exceptional complexity. 

O.H. Ingram is currently available on shelves in Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Tennessee, and  Wisconsin. It is also available for online purchase via Seelbach’s.
