Haberdasher Artisan Distillery sits on East Wayne Street in downtown Franklin, Indiana, where founders Jarred and Kelley Conrey transformed their shared passion for craft spirits into a full-scale operation. The husband-and-wife team launched the distillery in 2018, with Jarred bringing his background in engineering and Kelley contributing her business acumen to create something uniquely their own. The name pays homage to the craftsmanship tradition, reflecting their meticulous approach to small-batch production in a state better known for racing than rye whiskey. The Conreys didn’t just stumble into distilling—they spent years perfecting their recipes and studying the craft before opening their doors. Their facility houses custom copper stills and aging barrels where they produce bourbon, rye whiskey, and seasonal spirits. Jarred handles the technical side of production while Kelley manages operations and visitor experiences, creating a genuine mom-and-pop operation that’s scaled thoughtfully. They’ve built their reputation on consistency and attention to detail, refusing to rush products to market before they’re ready. Visitors walk into a working distillery where you can see the entire process, from grain to glass. The tasting room has a welcoming, no-nonsense vibe—think exposed brick and reclaimed wood rather than corporate polish. You’re tasting spirits made by the same people giving you the tour, which creates an authentic connection you won’t find at larger operations. It’s the kind of place where regulars stop by to chat about the latest batch, and newcomers leave feeling like they’ve discovered something special in an unexpected corner of Indiana.
