Distill’d Detroit
Detroit has always been a city of liquor legacy; once having some of the strictest alcohol sale laws in the country even since the territory’s founding. An estimated 75% of the U.S.’s liquor flowed through Detroit during prohibition, up and down the Dixie Highway, known as the “Avenue De Booze.”
Just after the abolition of prohibition, a rivalry emerged- between two Detroit distilleries, Arrow Liquors, and Mohawk Liquors; each ingraining themselves in Detroit’s Liquor Legacy through fine product. In the early 2000s inspired by the craft beer movement in Detroit, a few hardy small-batch distilleries began popping up; Corktown’s Two James(est 2013), Eastern Market’s Detroit City Distillery(est 2014, and Ferndale’s Valentine Vodka(est 2013), in particular.
Distill’d is a new kid on the block, taking from local inspiration, and creating a new legacy
