About O.K.I. Bourbon
Based in the tri-state region of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, O.K.I. Bourbon draws inspiration from the rich whiskey history of its surroundings. The name "O.K.I." is an acronym representing these three states, where the brand specializes in meticulously crafted single barrel blends of bourbon and rye whiskey sourced from renowned distilleries. Founded in 2020 by Cincinnati entrepreneurs Chad Brizendine and Jake Warm, former owners of George Remus bourbon, O.K.I. Bourbon quickly captivated bourbon enthusiasts upon acquiring the beloved label from New Riff Distillery. Jake Warm's family boasts a profound connection to the local bourbon industry, with his great-great grandfather, Jake, playing a pivotal role in constructing the iconic Seagram’s warehouse in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, during the 1930s. With a commitment to honoring whiskey tradition and advancing the region's spirited legacy, O.K.I. Bourbon proudly continues to showcase the essence of its heritage through every bottle.
