Our Story
FELLOW TRAVELERS,
In the heart of Kirklin, Indiana, the spirit of distilling runs deep. Our family's heritage in this craft spans back to the 1800s, with each generation leaving its mark on the art of whiskey-making. It's a tale worth telling—a story of resilience, tradition, and the transformation of a humble kernel of corn into the smoothest bourbon.
Here at Travelers Point, we continue to add chapters to this storied legacy. Our distillery is not just a place of production; it's a vibrant hub of laughter, community, and shared experiences. We're a community bound by the love for exceptional whiskey, and we invite you to be a part of our journey.
When you sip our grain to glass bourbon, aged patiently in oak barrels, you'll taste the intricate dance of caramel and vanilla flavors that dance on your palate. It's a harmony of notes that delights and lingers, leaving an indelible impression. We believe that life is too short to settle for anything less than remarkable whiskey.
So, as you embark on your own travels, we extend an open invitation to visit us in Kirklin. We want to hear your stories, your adventures, and how you found your way to our humble corner of the world. Together, let's raise a glass, share in the joy of exceptional spirits, and celebrate the moments that make life truly extraordinary. Gather round our table, where you are only a stranger once.
Here's to good company, safe travels, and the relentless quest for the finest whiskey!
At Travelers Point, we craft exceptional whiskey that invites people into something bigger than a drink—it’s an experience rooted in discovery, craftsmanship, and connection. Every pour reflects our commitment to grain-to-glass distilling, bold exploration, and the timeless traditions of whiskey-making.
Inspired by the spirit of the traveler, our whiskies are designed to spark conversation, create memories, and transport people somewhere worth staying awhile. From the rack house to the tasting room, we believe great whiskey should feel both adventurous and deeply familiar.
More Than a Distillery. A Place Worth Gathering.
From Grain to Glass, Every Pour Tells a Story.
MASTER DISTILLER
Mel is a rare breed. He is truly a renaissance man in a time where that is all but non-existent. Mel is a brick mason by trade, stone cutter, has worked on dairy farms, managed a herd of cattle in Virginia, operated heavy equipment, a blacksmith, master woodworker, and a distiller. Mel’s great grandfather started distilling bourbon back in the 1880’s and the trade has been passed down to generations throughout the years.
