Granor’s inaugural Field Grain Rye Whiskey is distilled entirely from certified organic Hazlett Rye grown on the farm, prized for its winter hardiness and distinctive spice, nuttiness, and caramel notes. The 2021 vintage, shaped by a late spring freeze and dry season, yielded a concentrated harvest. Aged over four years in Michigan-made new white oak, it opens with aromas of allspice, cedar, and geranium, followed by brown butter, honey, and peppery rye spice. With only 47 cases produced, it captures the resilience of both grain and season.
Granor’s first Single Barrel Rye, bottled straight from Barrel 12 at cask strength—pure, uncut, and never to be repeated. Distilled from the same Hazlett Rye as our Field Grain Rye, it reveals clove and turbinado sugar on the nose, with candied ginger, orange peel, and pumpernickel on the palate. Bold and layered, this release is drawn from just 201 bottles aged over four years in Michigan-made new white oak, offering a singular expression of our fields.
Our first Field Grain Bourbon is crafted from Granor-grown heirloom grains—Wapsie Valley, Bloody Butcher, and Blue Corn, with Soft Red Winter Wheat and Violetta Barley. Aged over four years in Michigan-made new American white oak, it opens with aromas of vanilla, almond, and honeysuckle, followed by warm baking spice, toasted nuts, and custard. With only 50 cases produced, every bottle is a rare reflection of our fields and seasons.
Granor’s first Single Barrel Bourbon is bottled at cask strength from Barrel 6, a single Michigan-made new white oak barrel—never cut with water and never to be repeated. Distilled from the same heirloom grains as our Field Grain Bourbon, it shows aromas of brown sugar, cherry, and toasted oak, with flavors of marshmallow, ripe cherry, and dark chocolate. With only 96 bottles, this release captures a singular expression of grain, oak, and time.
Complex yet balanced aperitif, crafted from a base of Traminette and Valvin Muscat wine with the addition of Grape Brandy. Aromatized with wormwood, rhubarb root, marjoram, bay leaf, and Montmorency cherry, our Vermouth highlights showcases layers of both herbal depth and fruity brightness.
Begins with soft red winter wheat grown by Granor, which provides a smooth, mellow base expressing a vibrant array of botanicals. Inspired by a London dry style, our gin features classic juniper and coriander layered with herbs like rosemary, thyme, dill seed, celery leaf, and lemon verbena, all cultivated by Granor. The result is a bright, aromatic gin that captures the essence of the farm's ecosystem.
As with all of our crops, we believe that our grains must be produced in a way that is good for our soil, good for the people that tend it, and good for those in our community who share in the harvest with us. We’re not just producing high quality products; with each crop we grow, we’re telling a story about where our food comes from.
