our story

Humble beginnings

Distillery 64 was started in a barn in Harrison Co. Indiana. We made our first batch in a 5 gallon plastic bucket and distilled it in a still made from an old kitchen sink. At the time, Indiana was considering allowing distilleries to function like their brewery and winery counterparts with rights sell directly to the public. We began constructing and licensing a distillery in that barn with plans for it to be a farm distillery open to the public for tastings.

change of plans

The barn space didn’t work out, but we kept our passion alive by continuing to build our distilling knowledge, engineering new equipment, and searching for a new location to house the distillery.

Now

Distillery 64 is now open to the public for tastings, cocktails and well mannered frivolity at our industrial location in New Albany. We look forward to seeing you there.

our Spirits

Rum has natural sweetness and vanilla but infusing with toasted oak just makes it better. This spirit drinks like a whiskey. We like to use it in place of whiskey or bourbon in cocktails or on the rocks. It’s especially tasty in a classic Old Fashioned.

Packed with citrus flavor! This gin boasts a generous serving of botanicals including fresh lemon and orange peel. Rose petals greet you subtly on the finish to wrap up this amazingly delicious and complex spirit. We recommend using this spirit in citrus forward cocktails, in a gin and tonic, or even on the rocks.

Ryes and Shine is a 20% rye and 80% sugar moonshine mash distilled then married to highly charred oak for a spirit that is equal parts spice, sweet, and smoke.

A traditional juniper forward gin. This spirit has just enough flavor to be noticed in any cocktail, but still not overpower. This is lighter compared to most gins with the pine tree flavors at the front but only just enough. This spirit is wonderful in a gin and tonic.

Coffee and Rye is the perfect combination of black coffee flavors, a slight touch of smoke, and black pepper rye notes. Finished with in-house charred oak, you will find sweet vanilla notes, classic oak, and dark barrel candy flavors in this spirit. Coffee and Rye is a unique spirit that is bold, smooth, and boasts tons of character. Enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail.
