If Kentucky wasn’t the birthplace of bourbon, Traverse City, Michigan might have been based solely on the state’s weather. Located further north than probably the majority of people reading this, Traverse City Whiskey and cold weather go hand in hand. With Kentucky limestone water and four-season weather often cited as positives for aging whiskey there, Michigan is surrounded by four freshwater Great Lakes, and while July averages 80 degrees, the state’s 20-degree average winters provide an even more drastic contrast to Kentucky’s hot summers. It’s why the company dubs its product the “Whiskey of the North.”

Traverse City Whiskey Co. was founded by Traverse City native Chris Fredrickson, and his partners, Jared Rapp and Moti Goldring. Fredrickson discovered his great-grandfather had been granted whiskey distilling patents in the 1920s. This planted the idea to take advantage of this unique opportunity and continue what his grandfather started. The first few years the company sourced their bourbon until their whiskey was up and running. Now that it is, the company surprisingly has a wide range of products.

Overall:

It didn’t grab me at first sip, but its sweet and citrusy notes won me over by the end. It tastes young but isn’t overpowered by any amount of graininess or ethanol bite. At four years old it’s surprisingly easy drinking, and in the absence of heavy oak notes, orange and lemon notes have a chance to stand out nicely.
