We had an excellent experience at the Traverse City Distillery Tasting Room! The bourbon tasting was fantastic, and the backstory behind the distillery and its spirits made the experience even more enjoyable. The passion and grain to glass craftsmanship really came through.
Kaylee was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. She provided an excellent overview of the bourbons and did a great job making the tasting both informative and fun.
