West Fork Whiskey’s Old Hamer
Old Hamer is known as the finest whiskey around since the 19th century. The Hamer family distilled excess corn at their mill in Lawrence County, then sold the whiskey to liquor lovers across the land.
West Fork Whiskey is now resurrecting the brand as an ode to the great Indiana whiskey tradition. After making its mark in the history books, Old Hamer is available once again! West Fork Whiskey makes sure that the brand is an accurate representation of the greatest Indiana whiskey—some say it’s almost identical to how the Old Hamer family made it.
