They offer a tour (well worth the $20 price tag) that starts out with a yummy adult bevvie and takes you through their distilling process, rickhouse, bottling, and event spaces. Our tour guide, Michael, was very personable and fun and made the tour quite entertaining. Loved the little stories along the way. Highly recommend - we'll be back again as we enjoy distillery tours and usually have to go to Kentucky for good ones like this.

We both ordered a few drinks and enjoyed a charcuterie board of meats, cheeses, and spreads. The special touch was the saxophone player! What a fun event and such a cool venue!

It is the first warm day in months and between the sunshine, the booze, and the music everyone was just vibing! Such a cool spot with great food trucks and speciality drinks.

Completed in 1894, it was designed by Mason & Rice of Detroit, in the Renaissance style. The elegant exterior features terra cotta ornament and bronze gates and lanterns. The interior boasts mahogany paneling, ornate woodwork and imported marble. Guided tours of the Brand Center feature turn-of-the-century Italian architecture, formal whisky information session and tasting, film of whisky making process, and a visit to our Canadian art gallery with original works from the Group of Seven. Your one-hour tour concludes with a sit down sampling by your tour guide. (and who doesn't LOVE a free tasting of alcohol!) Our tour was led by a very fun gal who is a student at the local University. This was a first time tour where you could touch artifacts, sit on the furniture and truly feel the history. All in all it was a bit lengthy and some tongue in cheek humor especially when she showed us a "supposed" bullet hole shot by Al Capone back in the days of Prohibition. Still, a fun time and a nice way to spend part of a rainy day. The tasting was good...6 year, 10 year and 12 year samples were placed on tables as we concluded the tour of the building. More commonly referred to as Rye, we took in the nose of each, added a bit of water and sipped our way through all three. The best, in my non-whiskey drinking opinion, was the 12 year. It was by far the smoothest of all and didn't have such a strong aftertaste. Its a shame that the Walker family still doesn't have a part of this business....nice to hear the history and even nicer to taste the fruits of their labor.

The staff has always been super nice and willing to explain the flavor profile of every drink to you so you can actually make a great decision. Also, since Two James makes spectacular spirits, every drink is delicious. They are so well balanced between flavor and kick, it's brilliant after brilliant. There isn't food as far as I know, but eat the cherries. It's plenty. Lol.

Apparently, the Johnny Sour tasted light but there was enough liquor in it . I was too set by the 2nd drink. Ambiance: fun circular bar! Not very big but nice chill atmosphere. I was introduced to Two James in Grand Rapids, my hometown when I visited during the Christmas holidays. We met Rachel there and stayed much longer than we had anticipated. Absolutely LOVE THE DASHI SHOTS there. To our dismay, the Detroit location did not have this shot. But it did have Rachel because she moved east. Cocktails were expertly made where your drink tasted so good that you THINK there's no alcohol in them.
