About Four Finger Distillery
An Indiana Craft Distillery Built on Character
Welcome to Four Finger Distillery, an Indiana craft distillery where craftsmanship, resilience, and a little bit of misfortune come together to create exceptional spirits and unforgettable gathering spaces.
Founded by Brad Colver in 2014, our journey began in Indianapolis under the name 1205 Distillery. Back then, we had all of our fingers — and a dream of creating handcrafted bourbon and craft spirits right here in Indiana.
That changed one fateful day when Brad, while installing a door, made a bad cut with a saw and lost his pinky. The accident didn’t slow us down, but it did leave us with a story we could never forget. For years we joked that Four Finger Distillery would someday be the perfect name for our brand.
In 2023, we finally embraced the story and officially rebranded.
Because if our journey proves anything, it’s that great things can come from unexpected turns.
Indiana Craft Spirits, Made with Character
At Four Finger Distillery, we produce small-batch Indiana craft spirits including bourbon, rye whiskey, gin, absinthe, and specialty liqueurs.
Our spirits are crafted in Lebanon, Indiana, where our production facility is located, and served across our tasting rooms throughout central Indiana.
Every bottle reflects our approach to distilling:
traditional techniques, quality ingredients, and a creative spirit that keeps things interesting.
Whether you're enjoying a neat pour of bourbon, a handcrafted cocktail, or one of our seasonal creations, our goal is simple — make something worth sharing.
More Than a Distillery — A Place to Gather
While we started as a distillery, Four Finger has grown into something bigger: a community gathering space where people connect over great drinks and good company.
Today we operate three unique locations in central Indiana, each offering a different experience.
Lebanon – The Gathering House
📍 126 W Washington St, Lebanon, IN
Our Lebanon location is home to The Gathering House, a welcoming community space and private event venue in Boone County located inside our working distillery.
Here you’ll find:

Crafted With Character
Four Finger Distillery was built on a simple belief: great spirits bring people together.
From morning coffee at The Gathering House to late-night cocktails in downtown Indianapolis, our spaces are designed for connection, celebration, and community.
We’re proud to craft our spirits in Indiana and share them with the people who make this journey worth it.
And yes — we’re still missing that pinky.
But we think the story turned out pretty good.
Cheers.
