About
The Indiana Whiskey Company is a veteran owned small-batch distillery located in South Bend, Indiana. Each drop of whiskey is brewed and distilled on site using locally fabricated fermentation equipment and a traditional old-world-style copper pot still. We welcome you to tour the production floor and experience the process from the brewing the grain to distilling the spirit to barreling and bottling the whiskey. Enjoy a pour of whiskey at the bar of our tasting room or sip a signature cocktail while learning more about our state's rich history.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went for a tour and met Kelly. We had a wonderful tour and tasting. Kelly was delightful, knowledgeable, and professional all at the same time. 5 STARS. Love their whiskey also. Ken & Mar

This is really as local as it gets. All of the ingredients that go into their bottles are from Indiana. Try the “Locals Bourbon” for a high proof yet smooth and easy drinking bottle. The rye bourbon is seriously one of the best I’ve had, and I don’t like rye bourbon typically. The flavor whiskeys are all excellent. The chocolate, maple, cinnamon, peach, all amazing. Bottles range from 30-50 dollars. Great labels to display when finished. Great staff and fun music nights if you’re a local or coming through for a few days. Definitely come try this taste of pure Hoosier.

Indiana Joe was so welcoming and friendly and made our visit amazing. Between tasting their whiskeys, trying cocktails, and a tour of the distillery, it was a major highlight of our visit in South Bend. Not to mention the whiskeys are exceptionally good.

The staff here is wonderful, knowledgeable and pleasant. The distillery offers three 'serious' products (an un-oaked corn whiskey, a rye whiskey and a bourbon) and three - for lack of a better term - fun whiskies. They are the bourbon with chocolate, maple and cinnamon flavorings. The names of these products reflect a great sense of humor.
The first three products are done well, but don't overwhelm with a sense of 'got to have this one.' We found the flavored bourbons frankly more interesting and the maple flavored one the best. It's by no means a traditional bourbon, but interesting to drink nonetheless. This is a distillery that has the potential to develop some arresting whiskies as the distiller clearly works at creating a quality product.

Indiana Joe was so accommodating and friendly. My boyfriend and I went for a tour and we had our minds blown leading everything the THREE EMPLOYEES do there. We have a bourbon tasting coming up and he actually helped us bottle our own type/proof of whiskey and it made the experience even better. I would highly recommend visiting here and seeing how this small company makes all of this possible!

This is a small operation, so the owner can devote his time to perfecting his product. The owner was knowledgeable and friendly and gave the tour himself and told all about his business. Even a usually non-whiskey drinker like me could appreciate his finely crafted products. Well worth stopping by to chat with and learn from the owner.

We pulled into the parking lot and there was one car there. We walked in and the bar area was empty. No staff available. However, on the bar we’re multiple half empty and empty glasses. Some had fruit slices and most had fruit flies. We immediately left. Don’t recommend and never saw any staffing.

We didn't actually take our tour or taste the product. We had a tour scheduled from 10-10:30am. No one was there. We waited a while and finally left. We received an email at 10:47am saying all tours were cancelled for the day. It was disappointing that they couldn't get us this information either the night before or sometime that morning before the tour. I even called about 15 minutes before the tour and left a message (I had a question because of some road construction). No one returned the call.

So much fun and the whisky were GREAT. Left with 2 bottles and 2 glasses. Just loved the maple whiskey. Wish they could ship to California. I'll be back!

It was just our small group of seven that came on the tour. The gentleman who showed us around was very informative and not bothered by our little ones lack of attention and wandering. We got to sample the whiskey and learn about the operation. We spent a good hour there and it didn't feel that long. The tasting bar inside was very modern and there is a big window into the distilling room.
