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,” said Harb. “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,”
said Founder Hank Ingram. “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.
Called Mellowed on the Mississippi, you can see full
details about the unique aging here.
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.
