1816 Indiana Rye – Straight Rye Whiskey | 101.6 Proof

Crafted in the heart of Indiana, 1816 Indiana Rye from Fenwick’s Distillery is a bold tribute to the state’s deep distilling heritage. Named for the year Indiana gained statehood, this straight rye whiskey is aged in charred white oak barrels and shaped by the region’s hot summers and cold winters — yielding a spirit of rich complexity and balance.

Bottled at a distinctive 101.6 proof, 1816 delivers a robust rye spice layered with warm notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, toasted oak, and a touch of caramelized vanilla. The result is a whiskey that feels both timeless and unapologetically bold.

This standout rye has earned its place among America’s finest. It boasts a Platinum Medal and Best American Rye Whiskey at the 2024 Las Vegas Global Spirit Awards, a Double Gold at the SIP Awards, a Gold Medal from the American Distilling Institute, and an impressive 95-point rating from Wine Enthusiast.

For a unique twist, a limited-release version features a whole Tahitian vanilla bean in each bottle, allowing connoisseurs to customize their infusion experience over time.

Whether sipped neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail, 1816 Indiana Rye is more than a whiskey — it’s a celebration of American craft and Indiana grit.
