Behind the scenes: 3 cool things happening at the distillery
Erica Sagon
A ton of great stuff has been happening at the distillery lately, and we wanted to give a peek at what's going on behind our production doors. You can always take a tour of our distillery to see it all in person, you know. But, until then...
We bottled a barrel of custom whiskey for Big Red Liquors, the largest liquor store chain in Indiana. You might remember us telling you that last summer, Big Red and 40 of its top whiskey-loving customers came to the distillery to make a whiskey from scratch — what a cool group project! Everyone who was there signed the barrel.
Big Red gave us the thumbs up to bottle the barrel, and now its limited-edition Summer Whiskey is on shelves.
We're getting ready to release Lake House Spiced Rum this weekend. We pulled a sample straight from the tank yesterday and you can really taste all the whole, natural ingredients that went in to making this rum: orange peel, vanilla and cardamom. There's also a secret botanical ingredient that we can't reveal, but it's what makes Lake House Spiced Rum unlike anything else out there. Today, we'll bottle it.
Lake House Spiced Rum goes on sale at noon this Friday, at the distillery only. We'll have special rum cocktails all weekend and free distillery tours on Saturday where we'll show you how we made this spirit. You need to RSVP for the tour.
Bramble was on the bottling line yesterday, and now a fresh batch is out in the world! Bramble is our black raspberry vodka, and people are freaking out about how good it is in a Moscow Mule. We have Bramble Mules on our cocktail menu right now — and they're just $5.
