Wonderful Bourbon of the North.
 
Traverse City, MI, is the perfect place to raise a Bourbon with its mild summers and cold winters. The trio of founders knew that when they established the distillery in 2012 in an old power station. One of them, Chris Fredrickson, found a cache of distilling patents filed by his great-grandfather in 1920. He revived the dream and started producing the "Whiskey of the North". In addition to weather that mirrors the wine regions of Europe, Traverse City distillery has another ace up their sleeve: new American oak barrels with a lighter char sourced from Kentucky and Tennessee.
 
Their Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a three-grain concoction (71% corn, 25 rye, 4% barley) that’s bottled at 86 Proof after it spends four years maturing. Its slight smokiness reminds of Scotch, and it offers a balanced dance of heat, strength and alluring flavors. Its character is strong enough not to disappear in a cocktail, while its citrusy palate makes drinking easy when neat.

Bourbon only needs to be placed in a new oak container for a few seconds to be called Bourbon. Fresh from the still and unaged Bourbon is called a White Dog. Recently, many of the larger distillers have started packaging this harsh, clear grain spirit for sale.
"Remember that iconic poster from World War II showing Rosie the Riveter as a patriotic American woman doing her part for the war effort? Well, hundreds of businesses did their part too, and the Bourbon distillers stepped right up with ‘em.

Distilleries all over Kentucky and Tennessee were re-tooled to distill fuel alcohol and ferment penicillin cultures to treat wounded soldiers."
Bourbon Is a ''new barrel Spirit'': One of the legal requirements for Bourbon is that it only be aged in brand new oak charred barrels.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Bourbon was declared "The Official Spirit of America" by an Act of Congress signed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
Sure, Kentucky gets all the press when it comes to Bourbon. And with good reason—nearly 95% of it is produced there. But Bourbon can be made anywhere as long as it's within the United States. Just ask states with budding distilleries like Illinois and New York.
