A collaborative amaro crafted with Madcap Coffee Co., this spirit is infused with a unique blend of herbs and spices including wormwood, gentian, chicory, orange peel, and myrrh, then blended with specially selected coffee. It features a bitter-sweet nose with deep coffee undertones, an initial pop of bright sweet citrus that gives way to layers of bitter, finishing with complex bitterness balanced by tropical sweetness, rich coffee, and snappy citrus.
A bold, bright, and unmistakably Michigan botanical spirit made with fresh West Michigan asparagus from a family farm in Mears, paired with Red Winter Wheat and juniper hand-harvested on Beaver Island. This herbaceous and savory gin incorporates dill, tarragon, capers, chive, black pepper, and lemon peel, pushing the boundaries of traditional gin while staying true to Michigan roots.
A six-botanical gin featuring juniper, coriander, lemon peel, cardamom, grains of paradise, and pink peppercorns, all crafted from whole grain milled and fermented on-site. The confidently juniper-forward spirit offers zesty citrus pop, brightness, an unexpected aromatic bouquet, and peppery undertones with warm baking spices, served without chill filtration or carbon treatment.
A seasonal gin that won The World’s Best Gin award at The Fifty Best Competition in 2017, made entirely from Michigan-sourced ingredients including Red Winter Wheat from Heffron Farms, juniper hand-picked on Beaver Island, and botanicals from Visser Farms and the Michigan Hop Alliance. The spirit features aromas of fresh pine and juniper berries transitioning to subtle citrus with sweet lemon and vanilla, with bright juniper, cucumber, and cedar leading the way to a crisp finish of citrus and mint.
A barrel-aged aquavit that builds on the Original Aquavit base by maturing in used Wheat and Rye Whisky barrels for over a year, adding deep vanilla notes and rich complexity. The caraway-led aroma and flavor with fresh dill finish is amplified by barrel aging, which mellows the overall mouthfeel and finish while enhancing certain flavors and aromas.
A Scandinavian classic made in Michigan, this aquavit embraces traditional distillation methods with caraway leading the aroma and flavor, fresh dill providing a savory finish, and additional botanicals including star anise, cumin, fennel, and more for a bold, flavorful spirit. The unique blend of botanicals is macerated for days in a traditional manner, then non-chill filtered without carbon or charcoal treatment.
A full-bodied, full-of-flavor vodka made with Red Winter Wheat from a local Michigan farmer, milled in-house and carefully distilled through a two-stage process on Vendome and Mueller stills.
