Because Life’s Too Short for Bad Cocktails…and Spoiler Alert: They’re Delicious

Traverse City, MI (June 11, 2024) Traverse City Whiskey Co. (TCWC), a portfolio of premium whiskeys and bourbon made in Michigan, has launched two ready-to-serve Old Fashioned Cocktails in a portable bottle: The Original (37% ABV) and Cherry (27% ABV). The Original features the company’s premium, award-winning six-year-old bourbon whiskey, while the Cherry’s base spirit is American Cherry Edition, the company’s bestselling whiskey. Both expressions contain homemade simple syrup and bitters, and citrus expression.

The new ready-to-serve Old Fashioned Cocktails, which are available in 375ml bottles and provide eight delicious cocktails (pours), are meant to be chilled and served neat or over ice and garnished with a TCWC Premium Cocktail Cherry (product sold separately). The suggested retail price for The Original and Cherry, which may vary by market, is $29.99 and $19.99, respectively. 

“An Old Fashioned is one of the original classic bourbon cocktails,” said Chris Fredrickson, Co-founder, Traverse City Whiskey Co. “Our delicious and convenient ready-to-serve Old Fashioned cocktails are hand crafted and ready to pour. They’re a welcomed addition to our portfolio of whiskey offerings.”

Known as the “Whiskey of the North,” TCWC draws upon its early family roots in the distilled spirits industry dating back to the late 1800’s, sourcing all its grains (corn, rye, and malted barley) from the Midwest. Led by Chris Fredrickson, the distilling team strives to make quality products, inspired by patented distilling techniques invented by Fredrickson’s great grandfather that were approved by the US PTO during the prohibition era.
