    Awesome tour of the distillery and quaint tasting room. They will even mix you a drink. The staff is knowledgable and friendly and they take their time answering your questions. If love vodka/gin/whiskey...especially the small batch and craft movement then you must check this out. Oh and the libations are fantastic.

    When first driving up to the place I thought it might be just a warehouse but walked in to find a cute little store. They let you sample the different vodkas and whiskey for a dollar. They also have a variety of mixed drinks you can buy. The people there are very laid back and easy to talk to. The only thing I would change would be to add some chairs.

    Though our cover story was "visiting family" my boyfriend and I really drove from Boston to Michigan to experience (and purchase) this art. That rye... Oh my. The bartender (I'm sorry I can't remember his name) was more than willing to share his knowledge and his recommendations. The most surprising... A delicious rye vodka! Needless to say we bought enough to make us feel like Prohibition rum-runners. Drawback... They can't ship it. So we have to remind ourselves: small sips. Skip the wineries... Head for the real alchemy.

    Our group stopped in for a drink in the early evening before dinner. The location is convenient, on the main strip in downtown TC. The Distillery was fairly empty and only the front bar was serving. I imagine the open the back bar when they are busy. Our group tried a few different cocktails. I tried the lemonade with their cheery vodka and was a fan. Good stop for drinks and whiskey tasting.

    The cherry wine that's a big summer hit was surprisingly good and different. My mom and I also enjoyed (and bought) their award winning "Etcetera" white wine. I was not told about their whisky and I'm bummed I missed it!

    A little off the beaten path is this wonderful distillery that came upon my radar this past weekend. If you have a moment to try something other than the wine and beer selections in Traverse, the. You definitely should check out he grand traverse distillery. With a guided tour given by Kent, I was enlightened about the different varieties of distilled alcohol that can be made through the process. Very informative, and very interesting stuff! Make sure to try the corn grain (moonshine) for a nice long burn!

    We went in hoping to do a tasting and buy some things, but weren't able to do either. We were greeted by the person behind the counter and wasn't acknowledged again until 10 minutes later as we were walking out of the door. I could understand if they were super busy, but there was a grand total of 3 customers including me and my fiancé. They should hire someone with sales and customer service skills that could actually manage to serve more than 1 person at a time.

    This is a fantastic place to visit for a tasting. They will mix drinks for you as well and give you recipe suggestions which is fantastic. You get to keep your glass for tastings as well which is a nice touch. Cherry vodka is amazing. We ended up buying far more bottles than we had originally planned because everything was so good!

    Came into this place after getting tired of wine tasting and to try some whiskey. There were not many people in the place so we had good service. The server was full of information and helpful to describe each tasting. I had a gin and tonic which was amazing they make their own tonic and gin which together create a party in your mouth. My husband did most of the whiskey tasting and fell in love with how much flavor was in it. I would love to come back to try some of their other cocktails they all sounded so great. The only reason for a lost star is that the place is small and you can get forgotten quick if it gets busy.

    We were given a map of the Traverse City area and I saw a listing for the distillery. We went here after breakfast as an impromptu stop. Although we were an hour early for the tour, the woman in front took us through a tasting of all of their different alcohols and even some cocktails made with them! She was really excellent and very generous with helping us compare and really experience some of the differences between the liquors. After an hour, we took the tour through the back and had the process of liquor making explained to us. It was truly very educational and awesome to see how this little shop creates such amazing liquors. We got to meet the owner and even had him sign a bottle of his liquor we bought. A really enjoyable place that anyone who really enjoys alcohol should visit.

    Fantastic! Wonderful addition to the Black Star property. The Chocolate vodka, Cherry vodka, and Rye Whiskey were stand outs. I even loved the take home shot glass!

    Heard about this spot and on a whim decided to stop in ... Got there just in time and caught them place just about 30 minutes before closing. Didn't get a tour of the facility, but opted for a $5 tasting of 3 spirits. I even got a cute little tasting glass to keep! Loved, loved the bourbon ... and loved the cherry whiskey. I also tasted the chocolate vodka. That was really good with a splash of club soda. Decided to get my dad the bourbon as a gift and get myself the cherry whiskey ... It is going to make me some great manhattans in the near future!

    This review is for the tasting room in downtown Traverse City. The place is really nice with a tasting bar in the back. We didn't have much time since the kids were hungry, but I sampled a couple of their whiskeys. I tried their rye, Bourbon, and a cask strength rye. I bought a bottle of the cask strength. Nice stuff, although pricy for younger Bourbon and Rye whiskeys. You're basically buying it for the unique Michigan/local product, at least right now. Every distillery was a start-up at some point. The worker was very knowledgeable about the product and seemed eager to discuss and help.

    Went here after my husband and I went on a tour in Iowa (and had a blast)..... We signed up for the 10 dollar tour and we got tastings and a cute glass. The tour guide was fantastic, knowledgeable, and interesting. He pulled history into the tour as this is the largest and only one of 7 in the state. The alcohol itself was good. I am not a vodka person but I liked the potato vodka and cherry vodka (and we took some home). Liked their rye whiskey and their cherry whiskey. The only problem is by the time we got to it my tongue had tried so much it was hard...... All in all definitely worth the money.....

    Cute little place. I was surprised how small it was. They really take the time to talk to you and answer all of your questions. We went on the "tour", but it was really the guy the back room. I think this business is really on the way to making itself well known. We bought two bottle... Spent $75 bucks. A little pricy for me, but I don't mind buying Michigan made products.

    Best cherry vodka on the planet! And all the guys that run it are great AND they definitely know their stuff. I recommend for everybody!
