Take a look inside the lives of our Amish friends as they process the sorghum that eventually gets fermented and distilled to become SORGRHUM.

What is sweet sorghum?

Sweet Sorghum is an antique sugar source, grown across the Midwest and South for a century before cheaper, heavily refined sugar was imported from the tropics. Still grown in small quantities today, farmers craft their batches one at a time, pressing the fresh juice from the cane, then boiling it down to a thick, deeply sweet and earthy syrup.

Colglazier and Hobson Distilling Company sources their sweet sorghum from Amish sources in Indiana and family farms across the heartland, then ferments and distills it to create a true American spirit. [This spirit is then aged in hand-picked bourbon barrels to impart even more flavor.] Try Barrel Aged Sorgrhum in your favorite rum or whiskey cocktail, with soda, on the rocks, or served neat.

How It Happened

After home-brewing several beers from concentrated malt, Matt Colglazier noticed how similar the dark syrup looked to the sweet sorghum sold at road-side stands across southern Indiana.

Needing a large supply of Sorghum, he eventually tracked down an Amish farmer outside Bromer, IN who could supply him with the hand-made syrup. He purchased 8 gallons, made a wash, fermented it, and called Stuart Hobson, the owner of Heartland Distilling.

Stuart, also a native of Southern Indiana, knew immediately what Matt wanted to do, and offered up the still where Indiana’s first vodka was created, to make the world’s first sweet sorghum spirit. Colglazier and Hobson Distilling was formed and now proudly presents a true American orginal, SORGRHUM.
