The Ghosts of the Black Forest: Reviving Southern Indiana’s Lost Apple Brandy Empire

Pour a glass of the amber-toned liquid from a bottle of Old Clifty Hoosier Apple Brandy, and you are tasting a direct liquid resurrection. First released in the late 2010s by Spirits of French Lick under the meticulous guidance of Master Distiller Alan Bishop, Old Clifty is modeled squarely after 19th-century Indiana heritage styles. It is double-distilled in a traditional copper pot still and aged for four years in used oak cooperage. On the nose, it hits with complex aromas of baked apple crisp, cinnamon, honeysuckle, and rich oak, followed by tastes of caramel, nutmeg, and the finish of an apple croissant. Old Clifty does not merely mimic modern trends; it pays homage to a massive, long-forgotten commercial distilling world that once occupied the rugged landscape of Southern Indiana.

Walk Into Bread Basket Cafe In Danville And You’ll Smell Fresh Pie Before You Sit

Some towns are known for a courthouse, and some are known for a pie case. Danville, Indiana, quietly manages both. Just off the town square sits an old house that has become a weekday ritual for breakfast lovers, lunch crowds, and anyone who believes dessert deserves its own planning session. The kitchen bakes its own bread, the porch fills up when the weather allows, and the pie selection draws people who drive a long way just for a slice.
