WHAT SETS THEM APART

Named for Historic Steamship Legacy

Tashmoo takes its name from the historic steamship that once carried passengers between Detroit and the resort areas of Lake St. Clair, connecting the distillery to the region’s maritime history. Their approach centers on small-batch production using copper pot stills, allowing them to maintain control over every aspect of the distillation process. The location in New Baltimore puts them in Michigan’s emerging craft spirits corridor, where they’re part of a growing movement of artisan distillers working outside the major metropolitan areas.

THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE

Working Distillery First Tourist Spot Never

The tasting room offers a straightforward experience focused on the spirits themselves rather than elaborate presentations. You can sample their current lineup while learning about their production methods from knowledgeable staff who understand the technical aspects of distillation. The space maintains an industrial feel that reflects its working distillery status, and you’ll often hear the sounds of production in the background. Tours when available show you their copper stills and explain how they transform raw ingredients into finished spirits.

IS IT WORTH VISITING

Real Craft Operations Worth the Drive

If you’re interested in seeing how a small craft distillery operates and you appreciate spirits made in small batches with attention to detail, Tashmoo offers a genuine behind-the-scenes look. This isn’t a polished tourist destination but rather a working distillery where you can taste quality spirits and learn about the craft. The experience appeals most to spirits enthusiasts who want to understand production methods and try products you won’t find in most liquor stores. Don’t expect elaborate entertainment or extensive food options—the focus here is on the spirits and the craft of making them.

⚠️ VISITING TIPS

Call ahead to confirm hours and availability, as small distilleries sometimes adjust schedules based on production needs. The location is straightforward to find on Washington Street, with parking typically available on-site. Ask about their current production when you visit, as you might catch them in the middle of a distillation run. Try their gin if it’s available, as many craft distilleries excel at this spirit while developing their aged whiskey program. Bring cash as some small distilleries prefer it for purchases, though most accept cards.
