About Ann Arbor Distilling company

Our story

Ann Arbor Distilling Company was founded in 2014 in the heart of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The company was built on a simple idea: create exceptional spirits with the creativity, character and ingredients of our great State. 

What began as a passion for distillation has grown into one of Michiga’s most recognized craft distilleries. Every bottle is distilled, bottled and labeled in Ann Arbor using thoughtfully sourced ingredients and a relentless commitment to quality.

From our award-winning spirits to our seasonal releases, every expression is designed to tell a story of place, process and people. 

Crafted in Michigan. Shared everywhere. 

Our approach

Authentic spirits. Modern craft.

Distill

We start with carefully selected ingredients and proven distillation techniques that balance tradition with innovation.

Share

Whether in our tasting room, at local events or shipped across the country, our goal is to bring people together through exceptional spirits.

"Great spirits begin with great ingredients, patience, and a willingness to do things the right way."
