Old Hamer Cask Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey

The Bold Spirit of Old Hamer

Originally crafted in 1825 and brought back to life in 2019 by West Fork Whiskey Co., Old Hamer Cask Strength Straight Bourbon is a powerful tribute to Indiana’s whiskey heritage. This expression revives the renowned high-quality reputation of the Hamer family’s original distillery, which once sent its whiskey as far south as New Orleans. Made with a mash bill of 99% corn and 1% malted barley—closely mirroring the original family recipe—this cask-strength bourbon is aged in #4 charred American oak barrels, infusing intense character and flavor.

Old Hamer Cask Strength captures the rich history of Indiana bourbon, making it an exceptional choice for the discerning drinker. On the nose, this bold bourbon introduces rich aromas of cherry, baking spices, toasted marshmallow, and oak. The palate offers a balanced warmth, mingling sweet vanilla, plum, and cherry with notes of brown sugar and subtle oak for a well-rounded finish.
