The Last Call

Four Finger Distillery Bottled in Bond Bourbon Whiskey Review.           Four Finger Distillery is one of those craft producers that continues quietly building something special, and their Bottled in Bond Straight Bourbon feels like a meaningful milestone for where the distillery is today. Based in Indianapolis, Indiana, Four Finger produces nearly everything in-house, from gin and vodka to absinthe, rye, and even peated bourbon. Released in 2025, this bourbon follows their Bottled in Bond rye and continues the distillery’s push toward more mature, transparent, and confidently crafted whiskey.      The name “Four Finger” itself tells a story. Formerly known as 1205 Distillery, the brand changed their name to pay tribute to the founder and master distiller Brad when he lost his pinky finger during the construction of the distillery. Rather than treating it lightly, the distillery embraced it as part of their identity, creating a name that stan...

 Four Finger Distillery Bottled in Bond Rye Whiskey Review.      Craft whiskey is alive and thriving in Indiana, and Four Finger Distillery continues to be a name that defines what small-batch passion can achieve. Based out of Indianapolis, Four Finger handles every step of the process, distilling, aging, and bottling, right in-house. This level of control and transparency is rare, and their latest release, a Bottled in Bond rye whiskey, feels like a proud milestone. Having loved their barrel-proof rye (my top Rye of 2024), I was excited to see how this one held up under the Bottled in Bond standard.           Four Finger Distillery , once known as 1205 Distillery, carries one of the more memorable origin stories. Its name comes from founder and master distiller Brad losing a finger during the construction of the stills, a touch of grit that now defines the brand’s spirit. Visit their tasting room, and you’ll find great cocktails, a frie...

 Four Finger Distillery Single Malt Whiskey Review.      Tonight’s pour takes us to my backyard here in Indianapolis, Indiana, with Four Finger Distillery’s Single Malt Whiskey. Formerly known as 1205 Distillery, they rebranded after the master distiller lost a finger during the building of the distillery itself, a tough accident that turned into a badge of pride, giving them their new name. Four Finger has been steadily gaining attention for their creative craft spirits, and when I saw this single malt, I knew I needed to grab a bottle.     Released in 2023, this whiskey stands out for its unique mash bill and crafted entirely in-house, distilled, aged, and bottled in Indianapolis, this release is a showcase of craft distilling innovation. The use of chocolate malt instantly caught my attention, suggesting a rich and layered profile even before pouring the first glass.

 Four Finger Distillery Frankenstein Whiskey Review. I received this spirit as a review sample from Four Finger Distillery. It is important to clarify this did not impact the ratings of this review. Four Finger Distillery is a hub of creativity in the Indiana craft spirits. I've had the pleasure of reviewing a few of their other releases prior to this one, and always been a big fan. Now, if you've never heard of Four Finger Distillery, they were once known as 1205 Distillery. The name change was to give them a better identity. The name itself comes from a situation during construction of the distillery. The master distiller lost his pinky finger to a table saw. Since then Brad, the master distiller, has been diving deep into all types of sprites  to create and release. Here’s where thing with Frankenstein Whiskey. It is crafted from the remnants of a local brewery, Flat 12, that sadly had to close its doors. Instead of letting the last batch of their beer fade away, Four Finge...
