Grand Traverse Distillery. Drinking Again

On Thursday:

After lunch at a Mexican restaurant:

Agave Mexican Restaurant,  I had a nice roasted pork fajita quesidilla and Cary had a Fajita del Casa which was a chicken, beef & shrimp fajita.

Cary's fajita

we then headed to the Grand Traverse Distillery, where they make several vodkas and whiskeys.

Its a small batch distillery making rye vodka, wheat vodka, cherry vodka and chocolate vodka.  Also rye whiskey, bourbon whiskey, cherry whiskey and regular whiskey as well as pure corn whiskey (moonshine).

We took a short tour, since it's only one big room.

Mash tanks where grains are cooked

Aging whiskey

We then moved back out front and tasted some of their wares.  You could taste one for free and then a buck a taste after that.  I tried the rye vodka, the wheat vodka, the cherry vodka and the rye whiskey.  I thought I would like the rye vodka, but it was a bit too sharp for me.  The wheat vodka was OK and the cherry vodka wasn't anything special.  The rye whiskey was pretty good so I bought that and some glasses with the distillery name on them.  Cary didn't think the cherry whiskey wasn't near as good as Red Stag, but since he's not hardly ever drinking anymore it really didn't matter.

Hmmmm.....

 

Not a big day.  Just chillin in Michigan :-)
