Traverse City Whiskey Co. – Discovered by Accident, Enjoyed by Choice
Traverse City Whiskey from “Up North” Michigan has now made it way to “Down South” Texas. This whiskey is made by good friends for good friends. After discovering a grandfather’s old patents for distilling whiskey on the family’s farm, three friends were inspired to start something great. With hard work, a passion, and support from family & friends, they started a small batch whiskey company. And even if you can’t make it “UP North” to visit their Stillhouse, you can now find their products right here in Texas.

XXX Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Their original recipe was this Straight Bourbon.
It ages four years in oak barrels and comes out with notes of vanilla, aged honey, and hints of baking spices. Not too sweet, but it’ll go down easy.
This one has a bold profile and an Alc./vol. of 43%.
Mash: corn, rye and malted barley
The Barrel Proof Bourbon
Because not all whiskey barrels are created equal they use their most flavorful to age this limited-edition release: their Straight Bourbon, pure and uncut, bottled at full barrel proof. They’ve crafted Barrel Proof with life’s simpler moments in mind—meant to be enjoyed slowly, holding nothing back.
Mash: corn, rye and malted barley
This one has a full profile and an Alc./vol. of 58.3%.
American Cherry Edition
Their best seller. Spirit-forward with a friendly wink from the Traverse City cherry orchards.
Traverse City is known as the “cherry capital of the world.” And with their American Cherry whiskey, that reputation finds its most exciting expression. This crowd favorite is spirit-forward with the round, subtle sweetness of Michigan’s famous tart cherries. Best enjoyed over ice. Not suitable as cherry pie filling substitute. They know because they have tried.
Mash: corn, rye and malted barley.
This one has a sweet profile and an Alc./vol. of 35%.
And you simply must go here and order their:
Premium Cocktail Cherries
Not too sweet. Not too tart. Perfect in a glass of whiskey or eaten straight out of the jar with reckless abandon (no judgment). Pick some up and discover why Traverse City is known as the “cherry capital of the world.” These premium northern Michigan balaton cherries are slow-cooked in copper pots and candied. They’re the perfect cocktail (or ice cream) complement. Again, no judgement!
These are one of the only cocktail cherries harvested and jarred on American soil. All cherries are harvested in Northern Michigan.
