Founded by Charlie Florance in 2011, not with empty promises, but with a mission: to create exceptional whiskey using the finest ingredients sourced exclusively from Indiana.

​

Charlie didn't mess around when he started this journey. While others were cutting corners with off-the-shelf equipment, he went straight to the heart of what matters - the still. He partnered with skilled South Bend fabricators to craft a bespoke 100% copper pot still, built to his exact specifications. No compromises. No shortcuts. Just the kind of precision and dedication you'd expect from someone who understands that excellence is non-negotiable.

​

This wasn't just about making whiskey. This was about honoring Indiana craftsmanship, supporting local artisans, and proving that when you're passionate about something, you do it right - or you don't do it at all.
