West Fork Whiskey Company: Old Hamer

This week we are talking to Blake Jones, Julian Jones, and David McIntyre the founders of West Fork Whiskey Company. We do a deep dive on what it means to be a distiller in Indiana and how they have built this distillery to create a whiskey brand focused on 100% Indiana grain-to-glass spirits. We talk about their Old Hamer Bourbon and what led them to the decision to double down on their dedication to Indiana grains and create a bourbon with a mash of 99% corn and how they are using this corn not as a base but as flavor creator and a head turner for this delicious Indiana bourbon. We talk about how they got started, how they had to push the envelope and learn while making and then we dive into their Straight Bourbon whiskey, their Double-Oaked, their Cask Strength and their new 10 year Old Hamer which let me tell you is something special! Its a trip to Indiana on this weeks Bourbon Showdown and I can’t wait for you guys to hear this conversation!
