Crafted with 99% corn and 1% malted barley, Old Hamer 10 Year Bourbon is a true heir to Indiana’s proud distilling legacy. Bottled by West Fork Whiskey Co. in Indianapolis, this bourbon revives a 19th-century tradition first forged by the Hamer family, who ran a grist mill and distillery in Lawrence County, Indiana. Their whiskey was so sought-after it traveled downriver to New Orleansîearning a reputation as some of the finest of its time.

Now aged for a full 10 years, Old Hamer delivers a mature, deeply nuanced experience that honors its roots while standing confidently among today’s best long-aged bourbons. Its nearly pure corn mash bill yields a rich, full-bodied profile, with sweet caramel, baked corn pudding, and toasted vanilla balanced by aged oak, dried fruit, and gentle spice from the barrel.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Brown sugar, seasoned oak, dried cherries, and vanilla bean

• Palate: Cornbread, toffee, dark honey, barrel spice, and cocoa
