Distilleries
Alltech Lexington Brewing and Distilling Co. is the producer of award-winning beer and spirits and one of the few joint brewing and distilling operations – or “brewstilleries” – in the world. Since its founding in 2000 by Irish entrepreneur Dr. Pearse Lyons, founder and president of Alltech, its Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale® has grown to become the brewery’s flagship brew, capitalizing on the brewery’s proximity to fresh Kentucky bourbon barrels.
Traverse City is where we're from; a quaint, authentic city in Northern Michigan that has become synonymous with enjoying life (and whiskey), an active lifestyle and a retreat where timeless memories are made. Our culture is a reflection of the area and we’re on a mission to produce the smoothest, greatest whiskey possible.

In 2005 Tuthilltown Spirits brought the tradition of small batch spirits production back to the Hudson Valley. Tuthilltown’s spirits, including whiskeys, vodkas, gins and other unique innovative spirits are among the first legally produced in New York since Prohibition. New York’s first Bourbon, HUDSON BABY BOURBON, is distilled from 100% New York corn. Our INDIGENOUS VODKA and HALF MOON GINS are produced from New York apples and wheat.

Established in 2007 and among the nation’s first craft distilleries, Valentine Distilling Company is an American pioneer of small batch, handcrafted spirits. When Valentine first started production, there were approximately 15 to 20 micro-distilleries in the U.S. Today, there are more than 2,000. In an era of mass production, squeezing costs and maximizing profits, one important thing is lost: quality. Taking a stand against mass-produced spirits, Valentine proves that American ingenuity and quality American manufacturing is still alive.
Generations ago, our Norwegian ancestors discovered a familiar beauty in the Northwoods of Minnesota. In its wildness and purity they felt at home. Vikre (veek-ruh), our family name, means “the people of the bay,” once in Norway, now on the narrow Western tip of Lake Superior. Vikre Distillery is located in Duluth, Minnesota, adjacent to the aerial lift bridge that raises to allow ships in and out of the world’s farthest-inland seaport. No other lake feels this much like the sea. Indeed, Lake Superior is the world’s largest freshwater lake.
Virgil Kaine started with one goal – to create the best damn whiskey around. Drawing on their culinary know-how, and driven by flavor, founders David Szlam and Ryan Meany, both accomplished chefs, were inspired to boldly blend, infuse and tinker with choice ingredients to craft category-shattering whiskeys. Proving that it’s not about stuffy tradition, but about taking what you know and taking chances. Each of their spirits is a tribute to their dedication to making whiskey their way. A whiskey they’d want to drink.
