Tasting Room
Taste Our Craft
Step into the heart of Old Homestead Distilling Co. and pull up to our tasting room bar, where the spirit of Southern Indiana is poured into every glass. Whether you’re winding down after a day on Patoka Lake or just exploring the local hills, we invite you to discover your new favorite pour through our house-made spirits, crisp cocktails on tap, and signature rotating spirit slushies.
For just $10, you can curate your own experience by mixing and matching any five pours to suit your palate—and because we believe the best stories deserve a memento, your tasting glass is yours to keep as a souvenir of your visit to the homestead.
Pull Up a Chair and Stay Awhile
Once you’ve found your favorite pour, the homestead is yours to explore. Grab a full-sized craft cocktail or one of our signature spirit slushies from the bar and find the perfect perch to settle in and relax. Whether you want to stay close to the action in the tasting room or head over to the Saloon—where you'll find plenty of room to spread out on both the main floor and the upper level—there is a seat waiting for you.
If you’re looking to pair your drink with a little fresh air or that stogie you chose from our large Walk-in Humidor, head outside to soak in the Southern Indiana scenery. You can enjoy the slow pace of distillery life from the comfort of our shaded front porch or head upstairs to the covered balcony for a bird’s-eye view of the grounds. From cozy indoor nooks to breezy outdoor spots, we’ve built plenty of space for you to sip, chat, and stay as long as you’d like.
Bring the Homestead Home
Don’t let the experience end at the bar. Tucked right inside our tasting room, the Mercantile is your one-stop shop for bringing a piece of the homestead back to your own kitchen or cabin. Here, you can stock up on our full lineup of house-made spirits and premium mixers, ensuring you're ready to recreate our signature cocktails whenever the mood strikes. We’ve even curated a selection of local snacks to perfectly complement your bottle, making it easy to put together the ultimate Southern Indiana tasting board at home.
Beyond the bottle, the Mercantile offers a collection of gear designed for the craft enthusiast. Browse our latest apparel, professional-grade barware, and the very same glassware we use in the tasting room. For those who want to dive deeper into the "why" behind the pour, you can pick up books written by our very own Head Alchemist. These volumes offer a rare glimpse into the artistry and science of distilling, making them the perfect companion for a quiet evening and a glass of our finest.
