Fox River Michigan Whiskey

Once it has matured in our American oak barrels, it is finished by pouring over Michigan Cherrywood charcoal before bottling,
At Ann Arbor Distilling Company, we believe that Michigan has all of the agricultural diversity needed to produce world class spirits. We do not need to import grain from anywhere else, or to follow rules created by others. Our Michigan Whiskey is crafted to be an everyday, versatile Whiskey which celebrates our great State

Spaulding’s Coffee Liqueur
Spaulding’s Coffee Liqueur is a rich, decadent liqueur made from a base of our Wheat Vodka and locally roasted and cold brewed coffee. Some cane sugar, vanilla and almond are added to give additional layers of flavor and character. Compare Spaulding’s to the factory brands and you will never go back!
Our Coffee Liqueur is incredibly tasty on its own, or when livening up a White Russian. MLive described our White Russian as “Hands down the best White Russian in all of Michigan”. Just add to our Wheat Vodka and top with a bit of Michigan made cream and you are in for a delicious treat
