    I have been coming to Traverse City Whiskey Company for the past 10 years. I felt lucky to be able to celebrate their ten year anniversary at the Stillhouse yesterday. Traverse City Whiskey Company is owned and run by some of the best down to earth people you'll ever meet, and they make some amazing whiskey. Award winning whiskey. You'll always be met with a smile and warm welcome when coming here. Excellent cocktails from the best bartenders in Traverse City. I keep coming back not just because they have excellent products but because the service is top notch. The Stillhouse is a small, cosy spot to grab a cocktail and relax. The outdoor area is nice too with plenty of seating and dog friendly. Highly recommend you make Traverse City Whiskey Company a priority if you're coming to TC.

    Bees Knees & NY Sour

    We were in town for the weekend and stopped in for a nightcap. There was a musician in the courtyard so we sat outside and enjoyed his music. I ordered an old fashioned and my wife a bees knees. Both drinks were outstanding! After the musician was done we decided to go sit at the bar and have one more drink. Someone out by the fire pit was saying how amazing the NY Sour was, so I ordered one. He was right. It was excellent. My wife ordered another bees knees. The bar tender was super nice and we chatted about different restaurants and wineries to try out. An off duty bar tender told us to come back for brunch in the morning, so we did. There is a French food truck there that served up a very nice breakfast! I got a Belgian waffle with Nutella and bananas, my wife the eggs Benedict and we shared an order of beignets. I decided to try the TCWC espresso martini too. It's different, but in a good way. It's an old fashioned with espresso and the TCWC Bourbon Cream. I liked it so well that I bought the kit to make at home. All were outstanding and will go back on our next trip into town. TCWC is a great

    Full disclosure I have not been to this business yet but have used their products in my home bar for many years. This review is centered solely on their cocktail cherries which I consider the best you can buy regardless of price point to include the industry standard Luxardo cherries. Their cherries are much more than a garnish that you add to your cocktail but impart a subtle cherry note that is very noticeable when you make a cocktail, in particular an Old Fashion, that adds a nice degree of complexity and takes the flavor profile to the next level. Also as a tip, I suggest putting a little bit of the syrup in your cocktail as well to get a more noticeable cherry note and a tinge of added sweetness to the drink. Nice, nice, nice!!! If you have not tried these cocktail Cherries yet you owe it to your self to buy a bottle especially if you are a bit discerning when it comes to well made cocktails as I am. You will definately not be disappointed and will become a fan for life as I am where this is my go to cocktail Cherry all day long and twice on Sunday's (:. Additionally being a Michigan company with a product that's this good absolutely deserves our support being Michiganders. Five stars in my book!

    Made multiple stops here throughout the summer. It's off the main strip of restaraurants and shops which we loved! It was nice to get away from all the busy places. The "rooftop" seats were nice to just hang out and the fire pit is perfect for the cooler days. LOVED the slushies! We talked about doing one of the cocktail classes next time we're up that way!

    Awesome spot to have a cocktail and relax Inside, there is both bar and barrel room seating, and outside, there is a great patio area with firepit, Adirondack chairs, bar tables, and stools as well as a elevated deck area which is made from a container The tasting room also has a gift shop with bottle sales, glassware, apparel, and other misc logo items Everyone was super friendly. Bar service was fast The bourbon is pretty smooth with hints of caramel and vanilla The verse gin is sippable American Cherry whiskey gives a nod to Traverse Citybeing the cherryvapiya of the world! I had thr BEST old fashion ever! I have to say their bourbon cocktail cherries are out of this world....truly addictive and available online Live music many nights My rating rationale +1 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value

    My boyfriend and I stopped here for a drink for my birthday. So glad we did. The porch area is adorable, and the staff was very friendly. They have some great bartenders that know how to make an exceptional drink. Can't wait to go back.

    Finley was welcomed at the distillery!

    Excellent bourbon and even better service! The bartender was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time during our visit.

    What a fun bar type atmosphere. I expected an uncomfortable tasting room offering samples of whiskey. This is a fun place to hangout and have a couple of drinks. They make great drinks! There's indoor seating at the bar and a few scattered tables throughout the building. The patio has a fire pit with comfortable outdoor seating along with a few tables and chairs. They have live music on the weekends and there's table service so you don't have to go inside to get a drink. Parking could get tricky but if you don't mind parking a block away you'll be fine.

    Full proof wheated

    All of their full proof bourbons are top notch. My favorite of the four is the Wheated. Here's my rank of the full proofs 1. Wheated 2. Rye 3. Cherry 4. Bourbon

    Stopped in for a drink on our way to the airport and had a really good experience. Great little tasting room with a friendly staff. Wish we had more time to spend there.

    This was a great place to stop while visiting Traverse City. Indoor and outdoor seating while trying some smooth and flavorful whiskey. We bought a flight and sat outside to enjoy the nice August air in Michigan. We enjoyed all five whiskeys and would definitely be back if in the area. Fast and friendly service makes this a five-star experience for sure.

    My husband and I were driving around on a Sunday and came across Traverse City Whiskey Co. They have flights that you can try, which was awesome! The setting is very laid-back and very warm and inviting. Staff are really friendly and helpful, and they made great suggestions. It was a really nice relaxing and fun experience. It was a very cold and snowy weekend when we went, but they still had the fire pits lit outside, which was great. We opted to stay inside, but it was really nice that they were keeping it clear of snow and ice while keeping the fire going outside to leave plenty of options for people for seating. We had a great time and would love to come back to try more of their menu!

    What an absolute surprise this place turned out to be! It's a stop we will have to make every time we're here. While we were here it was very empty so we chatted with the bar tender and she made some great recommendations. I got a cherry sour that was delicious. They have all fresh squeezed juices and don't use any sour mixes. My wife got a cherry whiskey slushee and she's not a whiskey person by any means, but she loved this! Definitely worth your time! It's located in the middle of a quaint neighborhood and I'm envious of the folks that live nearby.

    Hi guys! Are you open all year round?

    Hi Deb, great to hear from you! Yes, we are open year-round and open for cocktail service at noon daily during the week and 11 AM on the weekends. Hope to see you soon!

    Me and the wife really want to go there but she doesn't drink. Are there any nonalcoholic beverages available?

    Chad, thanks for reaching out! We have plenty of mocktails available - hope to see you soon!

    Do they have other drinks available like beer and wine?

    Hi Samantha, we only serve samples/ cocktails / bottles of Traverse City Whiskey at the tasting room. Hopefully beer and wine to come in the future!

    Has anyone been on the $10 tour? Debating on visiting in early July. Any opinions would be appreciated.

    Are kids allowed there.. and if so do they have certain hours?

    Hi Terese, thanks for reaching out! We are family friendly and don't have specific hours governing it. Hope to see you soon! Thanks, the TC Whiskey Crew
