Pride of Indiana Straight American Whiskey Batch 001

Proof: 125.5 Proof

Mash Bill: 60/36/4 Corn/Rye/Malted Barley & 99/1 Corn/Malted Barley

Tasting Notes: Vanilla frosting, torched sugar and orange zest fill the nose. There's a subtle note of stewed apples and almond butter. The palate is blast of molasses, white pepper, smoked bacon jam and dried mango. The flavor keeps expanding as it develops in the glass. This ultimately leads back to a long finish of toasted oak staves and honeysuckle.
Story: In 2014, a news site sent shockwaves through the whiskey world. The article claimed that Indiana made some of our favorite craft whiskey. Whiskey fans cheered and jeered as they exposed fake backstories and shady marketing. The revelation hit a major distillery. The distillery has operated since the 1900s under various names and owners.
But, there was a critical detail often overlooked in the uproar. The whiskey was fantastic! Over the years, enthusiasts began to embrace the exceptional Indiana whiskey. Collectors eagerly sought old stocks. They would spend secondary prices for a single bottle.
In the spirit of transparency, Seelbach’s Spirits has dedicated the Pride of Indiana series to this remarkable Indiana distillery. We meticulously select and bottle the finest barrels we can find. This isn't just a resurgence of transparency; it’s a celebration of Indiana’s rich distilling heritage.

COLLECTIONS

Blenders
CERTIFIED CRAFT-BLENDED SPIRIT
- Independently-Owned: Less than 25% of the craft distillery (distilled spirits plant or DSP) is owned or controlled (or equivalent economic interest) by alcoholic beverage industry members who are not themselves craft distillers.
- Small-Scale: Maximum annual sales are less than 100,000 proof gallons.
- Hands-on Production: Craft Blenders produce spirits that reflect the vision of their principal blender using any combination of traditional or innovative techniques including fermenting, distilling, re-distilling, blending, infusing or warehousing. The blended components must be varied in each type — e.g., more than one barreling of whiskey, more than one type of neutral spirits, etc. — and cannot be limited to merely blending-down high-proof spirits with water, or by only adding coloring, flavoring or blending material.
Bardstown Bourbon Company
The Bardstown Bourbon Company is a New Blend of Bourbon Makers, pushing the boundaries through innovation, while honoring the traditional art of making whiskey.

We are the first NapaValley style destination on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail® to combine distilling, culinary, and beverage expertise to create a modern, authentic bourbon experience.
Pursuit Spirits
New Riff Distilling
We are a new riff on an old tradition, that tradition or theme being Kentucky Bourbon. Founded in 2014 by Ken Lewis, a visionary Kentucky liquor retailer, and entrepreneur, New Riff is led by a team of corporate refugees ranging from craft beer to politics and more. New Riff crafts a range of whiskeys—Bourbon, Rye, and eventually Malted Rye and a host of specialty recipes—as well as Kentucky Wild Gin. Our mission is simple: to someday be counted among the world’s great small distilleries. Becoming one of the great small distilleries of the world is a long-term play, with no exact ring to win, or title to be declared.
We are independently owned by one family, and that independence, the freedom from outside pressures and interests has allowed us to make an unforeseen declaration for quality: for perhaps the first time since the inception of the Bottled in Bond Act in 1897, a Kentucky sour mash whiskey distillery has committed itself exclusively to that quality standard, the world’s highest. And we proudly lift that bar even higher by bottling without chill filtration. We stand behind this combination of classic American entrepreneurship and ingenuity; passion and knowledge born from one of the world’s great spirit regions, and a talented team individually committed to doing things the right way.
Distillers
CERTIFIED CRAFT DISTILLED SPIRIT
- Distilled by the DSP: The spirit must have been run through a still by a certified craft producer, and the TTB-approved label must state “Distilled By” followed by the name of the DSP.
- Independently-Owned: Less than 25% of the craft distillery (distilled spirits plant or DSP) is owned or controlled (or equivalent economic interest) by alcoholic beverage industry members who are not themselves craft distillers.
- Small-Scale: Maximum annual sales are less than 100,000 proof gallons.
- Hands-on Production: Craft distillers produce spirits that reflect the vision of their principal distillers using any combination of traditional or innovative techniques including fermenting, distilling, re-distilling, blending, infusing or warehousing.
OUR PURPOSE
Seelbach’s is a platform for the best in craft spirits.
At Seelbach’s, each bottle listed highlights on one four production categories. Grain/Materials, Distillation, Maturation and Blending. We provide an avenue for drinkers to connect with distilleries across the country. If you're tired of chasing limited releases, you've come to the right place. The brands we represent share a philosophy of transparency and quality. This includes distillers that use pot still distillation methods and source grain from local farmers. Our blenders do the painstaking work to source and explore new methods for blending.
OUR FOCUS
Farm Focused
Distillers growing their own grain or grains sourced from local farms. We love distillers that resurrect nearly extinct heirloom grains. These raw materials allow new twists on the flavor profile of classic spirits.
Distilling Focused
Our distillery partners craft small batch spirits with artisan stills. Seelbach’s distillers aren’t simply manufacturing plants of alcohol. They’re the definition of "handmade" spirits. We feature heritage distilling methods. That’s anything from open flame pot stills to lower distillation proofs off column stills. Production decisions made on the still change the flavor profile of the spirit in a bottle.
Maturation Focused
Spirit maturation is a broad category. Different types of wood, finishing barrels, barrel entry proofs and alternative climates have a drastic effect on taste. Most spirits need time to mellow. Seelbach’s brands make the hard decision to wait years before each barrel is ready to release. Maturation focused brand push the limits where large distillers don't have the flexibility.
