Has anyone heard of W.H. Harrison Indiana Straight Boubon Whiskey. I have just caught wind of this, and want to learn more, but it probably hasn't left the boundries of Indiana. Its made by Tipton Spirits, Brazil, IN, their website link is below.
Also, I am well aware that Bourbon can be made in any state, but I thought that only Kentucky could use its name before the title Straigh Bourbon Whiskey.

I had not heard of it either, but now I definitely want to try it.
Ah, Tipton, home of the world-famous Pork Fest.:lol:
If I had to guess I would say they bought this stuff from ADI in Lawrenceburg. It's heartening that they don't say they distilled this themselves anywhere on their websites or even imply it. Sure they're not distilling, but at least they're not lying about it either.
It sounds interesting, at any rate. Do they sell it where you work, Kev?
Good catch. Hadn't heard of this one. Hmmm, a Bourbon named after a president who served a whole month. What's next Millard Fillmore Bourbon?Quote:

Actually I now work for a wine/spirits distributor...not the one that reprsents this brand though.
Would ADI be Seagrams?
I heard about it by word of mouth, not by any grand anouncement by the brand.
The bottle says "Aged less than 4 years," doesnt there have to be a specific age statement of the yougest whiskey in the blens if it is less than 4 years old?
Do you think they buy white dog and age themselves, or buy the aged whiskey, and as advertised on the label, bottle in Temperance, MI
P.S. I am less than eloquent, but I laugh that their description is "layers of subtlety" Subtle what...?

I will actually be in Bloomington tomorrow. I will pick up a few bottles.
also, WH Harrison was renowned in Indiana as a governor, not necessarily a president.:cool:
I luckily found, and bought a bottle of the Govenor Select, barrel proof (114), Batch #1
