Hoosier History
Indiana became the 19th state of the United States on December 11, 1816. Just like other states in the Midwest, Indiana became a site for whiskey production due to its agricultural grain capacity, and natural limestone filtered water. The climate, with hot summers and cold winters, was imperative to the aging process, where the fluctuations help the spirit interact with the charred white oak barrels, imparting the exclusive flavor, color, and character. This natural advantage contributed to the development of distilling in the region. At this time distilling was a small-scale, farm-based activity before the rise of industrial, commercial distilling in the late 1800s.

Our 1816 Indiana Rye Whiskey continues to honor these traditions today. Aged in the fluctuating Indiana climate in charred white oak barrels. Hand-bottled by the small team at our craft distillery after it has been proofed to 101.6, producing the bold rye spice and floral notes with a hint of nutmeg, and cinnamon in the background. Truly history in a bottle!
