Traverse City Whiskey Co.

About Us

Here at the Traverse City Whiskey Co., we've worked hard to reconstruct the recipe that's been lingering in one of our family heirlooms for three generations. We are independently and locally owned, and our products are featured in our distillery and tasting room, located at 14th & Cass in downtown Traverse City. Here we produce the best whiskey available using our family's formula and the techniques derived directly from my great-grandfather's patents.

Behind the scenes we've been breaking ground on our family farm and have begun planting the necessary corn, barley and rye to properly reconstruct this whiskey masterpiece. Our new American oak barrels are aged on-site until they've matured for at least four years, at which point we hand bottle and label every batch individually.

If there's a ''Story in Every Bottle'' of Traverse City Whiskey, and storytelling is an art, then consider us Ernest Hemingway and our whiskey is Three Stories and Ten Poems - seriously, you should try it. Follow us on social media for updates about our distillery—tours are officially available!
