Farm Distillery Day at Locust Grove: Absinthe Mash
Saturday, 10:00am - 4:30pm
Experience the sights, sounds, and smells of a 19th-century farm distillery as we prepare a period mash! The Locust Grove Farm Distillery project represents the small farm-scale distilling activities of early Kentucky, before mass production. For this special session, we will be experimenting with the little known history of how absinthe was made in Switzerland County, Indiana by French-Swiss settlers in the 1830s. Learn how absinthe would be made—from grain to still and beyond—and how distilling was one of the best ways to preserve excess grain and fruit crops.
At Locust Grove, distilling was often the work of enslaved workers so you'll also hear about their impact on the small farm economy of the early 19th century.
