Our experience at Northern Latitude Distillery was easily one of the highlights of our trip to the…read moreTraverse City area. My husband and I stopped in and were immediately greeted at the front door by a lovely woman who made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. She walked us through the tasting experience, pointed out the restrooms, and truly set the tone for such a warm and inviting visit. When we made our way to the tasting bar, we were greeted by a wonderful man who was funny, engaging, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. He explained each spirit so well and made the tasting experience genuinely fun. Come to find out -- the two people taking such great care of us were the owners! Their hospitality and customer service were exceptional and made the experience feel personal and memorable. And the spirits? Absolutely phenomenal. We ended up leaving with six bottles because everything was that good. This was hands-down one of the best experiences of our entire trip. Highly recommend stopping in if you're anywhere near the area!

This place is buzzing. But I would definitely recommend that you arrive buzzed…read more We arrived on E bikes so I was hesitant about having cocktails, but I started with the bourbon old-fashioned, which arrived disgustingly sweet. My husband, who favors sweet beverages, or at least today he does... Insisted that the lemoncello was so delicious from his sampling that they brought him a 3 ounce pour and I swear to you it taste like Lemon Pledge mixed with sugar water. Then he got some cream situation. The lemoncello crema. Before I even drink it, I took a with, and it smelled like breastmilk vomit. Straight baby spit up. My friend tells me that my review is truthful, but kind of mean. But I have had four drinks here and they were all kind of gross. We will probably come back tomorrow. I'm gonna go try the horseradish vodka. Maybe that will be better.

They have such a unique concoction of drinks and you can tell the effort and research that goes into each recipe. They're creative and innovative and it's such a great gem of the UP. They have had a food truck there each time I've visited (Alley Cat's) so you can hang out for dinner and drinks! I love their outdoor area, it's lively but has a great amount of vegetation and seating so you can still feel like you're in an intimate setting.

Unique outdoor setting and a very personable bartender. My White Russian was amazing!read more

It's kind of like a rustic cabin in the woods. There's a great outdoor patio area. I stopped in for a whiskey flight. I got the cakeless fruitcake flight, which is their American cherry whiskey, Michigan apple whiskey, lakeside peach whiskey, and bourbon cream liqueur. It was fantastic, and only cost $12! They have so many other flights as well as cocktails to choose. This place is definitely worth a stop if you're in Traverse City.

And the downtown area can be kind of *extra* so we really appreciated the chill vibe here. Love that the bar is prominent and doesn't feel like an afterthought to the tasting table set up.

The pina colada was the best of the slushies. The bourbon was smooth. The manhattan was exactly what you want in a drink! They tried to change my mind on the gin. I am not a gin drinker but their gin didn't have the intense "Christmas tree" flavor if you're into that. I'll stick to bourbon
