Other great American crafted spirits for you to sample include Orange V Vodka, intense orange vodka flavored with Florida citrus and 44 North with its amazing Huckleberry and Rainier Cherry Flavors. Square One Organic Vodka will be showing off their tantalizing Cucumber Vodka as well as their newest offering, Square One Botanical.

Lest you think the independent spirits movement is strictly an American phenomenon, we also have a wide variety of incredible spirits from around the globe;
• Luna Sueno Tequila - the first Tequila distilled four times, • Scorpion Mezcal presents their award winning Mezcal distilled from 100% Agave and bottled with a scorpion in every bottle. • Macchu Pisco, an artisanal Pisco from Peru, • Russian Diamond Vodka and Jewel of Russia Vodkas.
Also on display for you to taste are rare barreling of rums from different Islands from the eccentric folks at Renegade Rum. One rum is rumored to be distilled in a still made out of wood! Cognac Ferrand, "An Independent Producer of Fine Spirits" will be showcasing their exceptional line of Cognac. The tropical paradise of St. Lucia brings us the award winning Castries Peanut Cream, a rum based cream liquor that is as tasty as it is unique. Castries more sophisticated brother Chairman's Reserve shows that St Lucia can produce fine sipping rum with the best of the islands.
From Vermont, the Indy Spirits Expo will also showcase Whistlepig Straight Rye Whiskey. A collaboration between Master Distiller Dave Pickerell, formerly of big dog in the whiskey world - Maker's Mark and entrepreneur Raj Peter. Raj has many accomplishments to his credit, but is most well known for going up against Donald Trump as a contestant on the apprentice. They will taste the Rye, explain the wonderful qualities if this rare 10 year old Whiskey and hopefully enlighten us city dwellers about what exactly is a Whistlepig.
