Straight Rye Whisky

“A big, bold, all-Michigan Rye Whisky.

Long Road Straight Rye Whisky is an honestly crafted, 100% Michigan-made whisky from Grand Rapids’ first distillery.

It is full-bodied and full-of-flavor – proof that careful distillation and respectful treatment of the process results in a more authentic taste. We continue to put everything into getting this one just right, starting with the Michigan-grown Rye we source from a farmer we know by name.

Enjoy this 100% Rye Whisky on the rocks or in your favorite cocktail – like a Sazerac or Manhattan.
