Cincinnati Distilling Announces New Columbus Bottle Shop Inside Polaris Fashion Place Center | Polaris Fashion Place
March 3rd, 2025

COLUMBUS – Cincinnati Distilling is proud to announce its first out-of-town bottle shop to open this Spring at Polaris Fashion Place in Columbus, Ohio. Known as Central Ohio’s premier shopping destination, Polaris Fashion Place offers a mix of market-exclusive brands and local specialty shops.
The new Cincinnati Distilling Bottle Shop will showcase their full range of spirits, including whiskeys, bourbons, rum, vodka, gin, and specialty offerings. Exclusive products, developed specifically for the Columbus market, will also be available.
Beyond spirits, the shop will collaborate with local Columbus artists, creators, and businesses to provide unique gifts tailored for spirit enthusiasts, making it the ultimate one-stop shop for spirit-related gifts. This is a concept that has proven very successful at the distillery’s Kenwood Towne Center location in Cincinnati’s eastern suburbs.
“We’re thrilled to expand into the Columbus market,” said Josh Engel, spokesperson for Cincinnati Distilling. “While many of our products are available through state liquor agencies, not all of them are. This store allows us to offer our complete catalog, including special releases, directly to Columbus. It’s also an opportunity to introduce our spirits education program to a new audience.”
“We are thrilled to welcome another premier retailer to our community,” Tamra Bower, General Manager of Polaris Fashion Place added. “Introducing an award-winning distillery not only enhances the diversity of experiences at our center but also brings a unique blend of shopping and tasting that is unparalleled in Columbus.”
The Cincinnati Distilling Bottle Shop at Polaris Fashion Place is set to open in Spring 2025. Once a firm opening date is confirmed, both Cincinnati Distilling and Polaris Fashion Place will announce details about the grand opening and planned festivities.
