Charles E. Ballard Straight Corn Whiskey
Charles Ballard’s story takes off where Lee Sinclair’s ends in many ways. Born in nearby Hillham, Ballard began his career as a pin-setter at West Baden Springs Hotel by Lee Sinclair. Ed eventually went on to build a massive business and philanthropic empire, that included ownership of the West Baden Springs Hotel following Lee Sinclair’s death. In 1915, Ed and his wife, Dolly, built their family home Beechwood. Decades later in 1995, the Doty’s began the French Lick Winery in the same Beechwood Mansion.

Spirits of French Lick Hindostan Falls Bourbon
Hindostan Falls, located on the East Fork of the White River, was founded in 1816 and became an important stagecoach stop along the Vincennes Trail. Despite the land being rich and productive, flooding proved its demise. Today, the lost town remains a picturesque destination for visitors.
Our Alchemist merged over 150 varieties to create the Heirloom Corn in this mash bill. Cultivated on the Doty’s Hoosier Homestead farm adjacent to Hindostan Falls, we honor the lost town with this estate bourbon.

Spirits of French Lick Whiskey Witch
The Whiskey Witch is a unique whiskey expression pushing the boundaries of double pot still distillation and mash bills from the U.S. producers. This spirit pays tribute to Irish and Scottish whiskey, with American alchemy thrown in. In addition, its name pays homage to the traditional occult-leaning folk distillers. The idea is that sometimes superstition, luck, and mysteries of the process have as much to do with producing good whiskey as any amount of “theory” or modern distilling knowledge.
