Journeyman Distillery Buggy Whip in Three Oaks, Michigan, is another new entrant from Midwest into the distillery and whiskey business, one that opened their doors in October 2011. Journeyman Distillery Buggy Whip is an organic distillery, with products certified as organic by MOSA, the Midwest Organic Services Association.
As is the rage with today’s multitude of American micro-distilleries, the name of the game is handmade and/or handcrafted. Either way, Journeyman practices what it preaches in this regard. Featuring bottles with original artwork and hand-sealed wax bottles, Michigan-sourced grain which is milled on-site, and barrels from neighboring Minnesota. They ply their trade in a historic local factory, the Featherbone Factory, which dates back to the 1800s.
In addition to writing about whiskey, I’m also a boxing writer, and in boxing the term “journeyman” usually doesn’t perk your ears up too much. The meat and potatoes of the boxing trade, journeymen aren’t tomato cans and sometimes even acquire some fame and notoriety, but by and large they are nearly anonymous tradesmen of the Sweet Science. Against a world class boxer, journeyman opponents may be good enough to last a few rounds or show you a new wrinkle or two, but they won’t be too good, or too dangerous.
