Distillery 64 sits in downtown New Albany, Indiana, just across the Ohio River from Louisville, making it a convenient stop for bourbon enthusiasts exploring both sides of the river. Founded by John Neace, the operation focuses on small-batch bourbon and rye whiskey production in a modern facility on East 8th Street. The distillery takes its name from the year 1964, though the specific significance of that date to the founders remains part of their story. The space combines traditional distilling methods with contemporary equipment, creating an approachable atmosphere for visitors looking to understand the craft without intimidation. They’ve built their reputation on producing quality spirits while maintaining the kind of operation where you can actually talk to the people making your whiskey. The location in New Albany puts them in Indiana’s growing craft distilling scene, benefiting from the state’s favorable distilling laws while being close enough to Kentucky’s bourbon heritage to draw from that tradition. You’ll find this is the kind of place where the focus stays on the liquid in the glass rather than elaborate marketing stories.
