CMHS x Cincinnati Distilling Limited-Edition Bourbon Launch

Cincinnati Memorial Hall Society (CMHS) and Cincinnati Distilling proudly introduce the limited-edition, single-barrel bourbon Camp Dennison: Cincinnati Memorial Hall Society.

This special-release bottle bridges two of Greater Cincinnati’s most profound Civil War landmarks. In 1861, Camp Dennison served as the gritty proving ground where more than 50,000 Union soldiers trained for battle. Decades later, Memorial Hall was erected in Over-the-Rhine as a grand monument to serve those same veterans and preserve their sacrifice.

Our Cincinnati Memorial Hall Society variant celebrates this historic pipeline from preparation to preservation. Rich, bold, and deeply rooted in Ohio heritage, this bourbon pays tribute to local heroes like Nicholas Longworth Anderson—who rose from the mud of Camp Dennison to have his name immortalized on Memorial Hall's intimate stage and the namesake Longworth-Anderson Series (LAS).

Best of all, you can help keep that history alive. Every bottle purchased includes a 16% donation to our nonprofit, whose mission supports the continued preservation of this local architectural treasure and the stories of those commemorated inside.

Taste the history. Honor the legacy. Secure your bottle today.

Pre-order today for pick-up at our complimentary bourbon launch party on Thursday, October 22, 2026, from 4:30-8 p.m. at Cincinnati Distilling (203 Mill Street, Milford, OH 45150), including live music from The Laurelys (6-8 p.m.), light bites, spirit tastings, and a special Camp Dennison / Memorial Hall collection display by Colonel Todd Mayer, CMHS Trustee.  Or drop by the distillery at your leisure thereafter to reclaim your bottles.

Thanks for your continued support of historic Memorial Hall!
