Steve Lancor, Business Manager, CDI and Chris Fredrickson, Co-owner/Distiller, Traverse City. The Straight Bourbon Whiskey is aged four years and bottled at 43% ABV, with flavors of light vanilla, citrus undertones and a smooth finish. Traverse City American Cherry infuses more than 10 pounds of Montmorency cherries in every barrel for at least two weeks, creating a hint of cherry on the finish.
