The House Bourbon Meets Cherry Country

Traverse City calls itself the cherry capital of the world, and the Fredrickson family farmed that country before it distilled it. The American Cherry Edition is where the two trades meet: the house bourbon is infused with fresh Montmorency cherries — the tart pie cherry the region is famous for, grown on the family's own farm — at a ratio of more than ten pounds of fruit to the barrel, then bottled at a sipping-friendly 70 proof with no added sugar. It pours like a whiskey and finishes like the orchard. Compare it with the classic XXX in our bourbon whiskey collection, or see the whole range on the Traverse City Whiskey Co. vendor page.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Bourbon caramel under fresh cherry. Palate: Vanilla and oak wrapped in tart Montmorency cherry — fruit-forward but recognisably whiskey. Finish: Cherry skin and gentle spice.

How to Enjoy

Over one large cube, where the cherry reads like a garnish the whiskey brought with it, or in an Old Fashioned with the sugar left out — the fruit is already in the glass. It also makes an easy highball with soda and a cherry to close the loop.
