Maybe the person in your life is more of a whiskey fan, then you have got to check out our new miniature whiskey barrels featured in the article below.  This unique idea makes a great gift.  It is a great conversation piece, decorative, and fully functional.
Custom miniature whiskey barrels are now available! 
 
barrelGrand Traverse Distillery is pleased to announce a new addition to our 
family of Michigan distilled spirits, Michigan Whiskey.  Our customers can now come in to the distillery and chose their own whiskey barrel in one of three sizes; 2, 3, or 5 liter.  These small custom whiskey barrels are hand crafted from American white oak and charred on the inside just like the big boys that we use for aging our whiskeys.  We offer 5 different un-aged whiskey distillations in terms of grains; corn, rye, wheat, malted barley, and a peated malted barley.  With these different grain options you can come in and create your own custom whiskey.  The whiskey is sold separately in one liter bottles at 125 proof.  We have found that the aging process at this high proof is preferred over a lower proof and you will be able to enjoy your whiskey in about 6 months.  Just add water to lower the proof to the level you enjoy.  We provide detailed instruction with the sale of the barrels.  For example, if you chose the 3L barrel and filled it with 3L of our 125 proof whiskey; after aging (around 6 months),  add 1.5L of water (distilled water is best).  You will now have over 5 bottles (750-ml) of your own custom aged whiskey to enjoy.  Then, come in to the distillery to purchase more un-aged whiskey and repeat the process.
 
We are excited to offer customers this custom whiskey experience and know you will enjoy your own personal whiskey, designed by you and aged to your taste.

True North VodkaIngredients in our True North Vodka originate from the beautiful Grand Traverse region that we call home. From the rich soils comes our quality rye. Our water originated in the crystal clean glacial waters of the Great Lakes. With these quality ingredients, True North Vodka is one of a kind. True North Vodka is an ultra premium spirit, hand crafted in small batches. | Learn More
Grand Traverse WhiskeyHere at the distillery we are excited about whiskey! Whiskey has such a range of flavors and character that the possibilities are endless. Our first idea is to bring back a traditional early American whiskey, rye. Americans enjoyed rye whiskey before prohibition. Rye whiskey offers a unique flavor that is one of a kind. Early Americans did not ask for a shot of corn whiskey, they asked for a shot of rye. | Learn More
