01 · A Family Legacy

Our Story

Long before Antwerp Distillery existed, there was Great Grandpa Doc. Though he wasn't a doctor, he became known for delivering “medicine” when it was needed most during Prohibition.

His stories were passed down through generations, inspiring Todd and Jeff to return to their family's roots and create spirits worthy of that legacy.

Every bottle is another chapter in a story that's still being written.

Not the End

02 · The Heart of Our Craft

The Stillhouse

Six stills, each with a name and a job. Every spirit starts with local grain from Indiana and Ohio.

From the Reviewer’s Glass

Rye Whiskey

100 Proof

A bold, high-rye profile with lively spice and spearmint up front.

Nose
Caramel drizzle, vanilla, and brown sugar, balanced by zesty rye spice, fresh spearmint, and a warm, bready character.
Palate
Lively spice and spearmint up front. Charred and aged oak add depth, while vanilla and toasted caramel bring a smooth layer of sweetness.
Finish
Lingering vanilla, caramel, rye spice, and charred oak, with a subtle touch of herbal spearmint.

Bourbon Whiskey

101 Proof

Vanilla, caramel, cherry, and cola: a rich and approachable first impression.

Nose
Inviting aromas of vanilla, caramel, cherry, and cola.
Palate
Layers of vanilla, raspberry, and cherry balanced by charred oak and a gentle touch of white pepper. The faintest hint of green apple adds brightness.
Finish
Lingering vanilla, burnt caramel, charred oak, and white pepper. A warm and satisfying conclusion.

Amber Rum

80 Proof

Specially crafted with cocktails in mind: a bold, concentrated profile that stays present even in complex mixed drinks.

Nose
Salted caramel, walnut, and bittersweet molasses create a rich and inviting introduction.
Palate
Bittersweet notes complemented by earthy and smoky characteristics for a deep, layered experience. Robust enough to stand up in fruit-forward cocktails, frozen drinks, and higher-sugar recipes without getting lost, and a natural fit for a Rum and Coke with a fuller, more pronounced character.
Serving Tip
For a softer, less intense pour, blend equal parts of this amber rum with our in-house vodka: a smooth, balanced combination with inviting aromas and beautifully integrated flavors.

Gin

80 Proof

A refined balance of traditional botanicals and delicate floral sweetness, smooth and approachable neat or in a cocktail.

Nose
Sweet juniper berry, fresh lemon peel, lavender, and sweet vanilla create an inviting bouquet with a bright floral character.
Palate
Sweet floral notes balanced with white grape, vanilla, lemon, orange zest, and classic juniper berry: a vibrant, elegant gin with exceptional depth and harmony.
Finish
Medium-bodied, with lingering lemon and orange zest, a gentle drying sensation, and a final kiss of sweet juniper berry.
Serving Tip
Shines in a classic Gin & Tonic, a crisp Martini, a Tom Collins, or a French 75: a refreshing balance of citrus, floral sweetness, and juniper in both simple and sophisticated cocktails.
