Reserve a spot now for Spring Mill's second whiskey tasting event June 10
Whiskey was an important part of the Spring Mill Pioneer Village economy. On June 10, the park is hosting its second annual Village Tasting Experience to raise funds to improve displays and restore the distillery, according to a press release.
Participating Indiana distilleries are: Spirits of French Lick, from French Lick; Luxco/Ross and Squibb Distillery, Lawrenceburg; Distillery 64, New Albany; Old 55 Distillery, Newtown; Hard Truth Distilling Co., Nashville; Donum Dei Distillery, New Albany; Dusty Barn Distillery, Mt Vernon; and West Fork Whiskey Company, Westfield.
What did they find? Hundreds of artifacts unearthed in Spring Mill State Park
The craft distilleries will offer tastes of their product(s) and there will be appetizer pairings for the participants and their designated driver, music, interpretive programs, photo opportunities and more. Products from the distilleries will be available for purchase and, with the Village belonging to the 1800s, cash will be necessary to make a purchase. The event will run 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. The event is limited to 400 people, first come first served.
Participants must be 21, pre-register and present ID upon arrival.
What's going on: IU Jacobs School cuts half of opera performances for the 2023-24 season. Here's why.
