It all starts in the soil. The distillery's rye, wheat and corn are grown and harvested just a few miles from the distillery at Send Brothers Farm in Williamsburg, Michigan. The Grand Traverse region is known for our rolling hills, fresh water and harsh seasons, all of which lend well to maintaining hearty and tested crops. ​​

Bins from the farm are delivered weekly to Grand Traverse Distillery, and they mill the yield down into our mash tun at the perfect recipe. Thier spirits are a Certified Craft Distilled, Kosher and Pure Michigan at its finest, so much so that they put it on the bottle.

Grand Traverse Distillery is the first distillery in the Great State of Michigan to earn the Pure Michigan designation for their bottles based on their commitment to the use of local agriculture and pure Michigan water. When you open a bottle of the bourbon for the first time you are truly about to enjoy one of Michigan’s finest hand-crafted products.
