Make Your Own Whiskey

Create a Whiskey That's Truly Your Own

Ever dreamed of crafting your own signature whiskey?

At Four Finger Distillery, you and up to five friends can work directly with our Head Distiller to design, distill, and age a custom barrel of whiskey that's completely your own.

Located at our production distillery in Lebanon, Indiana, this hands-on experience gives whiskey lovers a behind-the-scenes look at the art and science of whiskey making—from grain bill to barrel.

Whether you're celebrating a milestone, planning a unique group experience, or simply want to create something unforgettable, this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to leave your mark on a barrel of whiskey.

Step 1: Design Your Whiskey

Your journey begins with a private consultation and tasting session with Head Distiller Brad Colver.

During this approximately 2-hour experience, you'll:

• Take an in-depth tour of our production distillery
• Sample a variety of whiskeys with Brad
• Learn how grain selection impacts flavor
• Create your own custom mash bill (whiskey recipe)
• Begin planning your whiskey's production schedule

This is where your whiskey starts to take shape.

Step 2: Make Your Whiskey

Once your mash bill is finalized, we'll order the ingredients and schedule your production days.

You'll return to the distillery to participate in the whiskey-making process, learning firsthand how whiskey is mashed, fermented, and distilled.

This isn't just a tour—it's a chance to become part of the process.

Step 3: Age Your Whiskey

After distillation, you'll receive your custom-distilled whiskey along with a hydrated 15-gallon charred barrel for aging.

Take it home, age it to your preferred flavor profile, and watch your whiskey develop over time.

After approximately 18 months of aging, your barrel will yield roughly 60 bottles of barrel-proof whiskey that you helped create from start to finish.
