For enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike, Miami County offers a delightful array of locally crafted spirits, including vodka, gin, and whiskey, that showcase the region’s dedication to quality and craftsmanship.

Hayner Distilling: Reviving a Legacy
When it comes to whiskey, Hayner Distilling Company has a remarkable story. This business revived the old Hayner Whiskey (that closed during prohibition) by analyzing a handful of surviving bottles from the original batch. They were able to capture the essence of Hayner Whiskey. Partnering with Bardstown Bourbon Company, we’ve crafted a new blend that beautifully complements the original spirit, staying true to its rich heritage while embracing a fresh, modern twist.
Hayner Whiskey is known for its smooth, robust flavors and its commitment to traditional distilling techniques.
Whether you’re savoring a neat pour or mixing it into a classic cocktail, Hayner Whiskey delivers a nod to history with every sip.
Buckeye Vodka: Proudly Local, Exceptionally Smooth
Buckeye Vodka is another gem in Miami County’s distilling crown. This Tipp City-based business has garnered attention for its exceptional smoothness and approachable flavor profile. Crafted with locally sourced ingredients, Buckeye Vodka embodies the spirit of Ohio with its dedication to quality and community.
Its clean taste and versatility make it perfect for a wide range of cocktails, from classic mixers to inventive new creations. For those who enjoy supporting local businesses while savoring top-notch spirits, Buckeye Vodka is a must-try.
AM Scott Distillery: A Modern Take on Craft Spirits
AM Scott Distillery is a newer player in the Miami County distillery scene but has quickly made a name for itself with its innovative approach to craft spirits. Focusing on both quality and creativity, AM Scott offers a range of products that showcase their commitment to excellence. AM Scott Distillery provides a fresh perspective on local spirits with many seasonal blends to choose from. My personal favorite is their toasted marshmallow vodka which is perfect to add to hot chocolate in the fall!
So next time you’re in the area, take the opportunity to support these local producers. Each sip of Hayner Whiskey, Hayner Vodka, Buckeye Vodka, or AM Scott Distillery’s creations is a celebration of Miami County’s dedication to excellence and tradition.
