Revived in 2019 by West Fork Whiskey Co., Hugh Hamer Small Batch Rum Finish Straight Bourbon brings a classic Indiana whiskey back into the limelight. With roots dating back to 1825, the original Hamer distillery in Lawrence County earned a reputation for exceptional whiskey, and this rum-finished bourbon preserves that legacy. Crafted from a 99% corn, 1% malted barley mash bill—true to the family’s recipe—this bourbon matures for over four years in #4 char American oak barrels before being transferred to Caribbean rum casks for an additional 1–2 years. The result is a high-corn bourbon that blends the warmth of rum spices with rich bourbon depth.
Hugh Hamer Small Batch Rum Finish Straight Bourbon boasts a smooth, sweet profile highlighted by molasses, cane sugar, and a touch of persimmon, with the rum cask finish adding layers of spiced and white rum flavors. Each sip celebrates the Hamer family’s enduring dedication to crafting premium Indiana whiskey.
