Sweet sorghum cane, the source of sweet sorghum syrup, has been cultivated in the Midwest and South since the nineteenth century. Once a large domestic crop and a primary source of sugar for Americans, sweet sorghum production diminished as the importation of cheaper refined sugars and the advent of corn syrup took hold. Today, sweet sorghum cane is mostly grown on small family farms and especially in Amish communities across the Midwest. Colglazier & Hobson work with these small farmers and Amish sources in southern Indiana to produce the unique syrup they need for distillation.
The fresh syrup is taken to Heartland Distillers in Indianapolis where it is fermented, double-distilled, proofed, and bottled into a clear spirit.
Distilled Sorgrhum Dark is smooth and flavorful like a fine dark rum, but complex like a bourbon, with vanilla, oak, and spice notes.
