Part of the recent wave of micro-distilleries claiming a familial connection to the "pioneering spirit" of distillation, Indian Creek actually uses two-hundred year old copper pot stills from the original distillery. They produce a distillate that blurs the lines of what legally constitutes "rye whiskey" (note that the bottle specifies that it is "Distilled from a Rye Mash," whereas "Rye Whiskey" is part of the brand name), adding hops to the mash, salt and wood chips in the still, and inner-staves of hickory to their quarter-sized barrels. Some of these practices do have roots in American whiskey tradition: hop-teas were long used to clean out still due to the anti-microbial properties of the plant (ever wonder why hops ended up in beer in the first place?), and virgin oak casks have only been a requirement since 1964.

The mash itself is a family recipe of 60% rye, 25% corn, and 15% malted barley. Bottled at 40% ABV. .

  • Rye
    Rye produced in the US must be made of at least 51% rye and it must be aged in new, charred oak barrels (no age requirement). Elsewhere, it will be made according to the country of origin's rules regarding the recipe and minimum aging.
