About

Detroit City Distillery creates small batch artisanal whiskey, gin and vodka using the finest local ingredients sourced directly from farms near their distillery and tasting room located in Detroit’s famed Eastern Market. Founded by eight childhood friends, the distillery was established in a historic slaughterhouse, honoring Detroit’s prohibition-era entrepreneurial spirit with spirits that celebrate the city’s legacy of ingenuity and revolution.

Spirits

Butcher's Cut Bourbon

Honoring Master Distiller John P. Jerome’s grandfather, this bourbon uses the finest cuts of corn, rye and roasted barley aged with hand-smoked Michigan northern oak, featuring notes of toasted pecan, caramel, vanilla, smoked oak and candied almonds with a spicy high rye finish.

Four Grain Bourbon

A complex bourbon where corn, rye, wheat and barley unite to create a spirit that is both adventurous and rooted in Michigan agriculture, offering sweet autumn notes of green apple, caramel, wheat, browned butter, walnuts, fig and a signature rye spice finish.

Gilded Age Vodka

Produced using a sophisticated blend of the finest grains and classical copper pot distillation techniques, this 100% Michigan corn vodka is pure and crisp with a hint of soft vanilla and melon, inspired by the ingenuity and elegance of Detroit’s age of industry.

Homegrown Rye

Made on a small copper pot still in the back of an old slaughterhouse, this rye whiskey celebrates the legacy of Eaton County rye farmers with a spicy, buttery body featuring hints of caramel and coffee.

Peacemaker Gin

Inspired by the tree of peace legend, this gin features native Michigan botanicals including white pine, blue spruce, juniper, coriander and orange peel, embodying the taste of the Great Lakes state in every sip.

Railroad Gin

A London-style dry gin that blends juniper, cardamom, citrus and spice, inspired by the golden age of rail travel with clean fresh juniper and a spiced, dry citrus finish.

Summer Rum

A collaborative spirit made with Detroit’s favorite bars and bartenders, featuring a blend of rums from Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, Guyana and the US Virgin Islands, with Caribbean funk notes of banana, pineapple, clove and a silky smooth finish with hints of lime, toffee and French Indie spice.
