    Experience Columbus, with co-sponsor Destination Grandview, has launched the Columbus Distillery Trail featuring seven distilleries from around Central Ohio.

    “Columbus’ skilled artisans win international accolades and have led the national craft distilling movement for more than 10 years,” a release announcing the Trail read. “In fact, Columbus distilleries are defining one of the most exciting spirits and cocktail scenes in the country, placing the city on the map as a must-visit destination for booze.”

    Trail-goers download the Distillery Trail’s digital passport here. After purchases at four of the trail stops, imbibers earn themselves a cocktail mixer from Columbus-based Simple Times Mixers. Complete all seven stops and participants earn a “The Proof is in the Proof” Columbus Distillery Trail t-shirt.

    A wide variety of spirits are represented on the Distillery Trail, from the unique, blended creations of 451 Spirits, to revived classics like Genever and Queen’s Share Rum at Echo Spirits Distilling, and the award-winning whiskies, gins and more at distilleries that made local spirits a thing in Columbus, Watershed Distillery and Middle West Spirits.

    A full list of participating distilleries includes:

    • 451 Spirits – 590-ste. D, Oakland Park Ave., Clintonville
    • Echo Spirits Distilling Co. – 985 W. Sixth Ave., Fifth by Northwest
