TWO JAMES CATCHER’S RYE WHISKEY A TRUE MICHIGAN ORIGINAL
Two James Spirits is a small distillery located in the once-mighty American city of Detroit, Michigan. It is the first licensed whiskey maker to open there since Prohibition, and it is part of a movement to breathe life back into Motor City. There seems to be some exciting whiskies coming from this distilling team, the latest of which is the Two James Catcher’s Rye.
Two James Catcher’s Rye is a 100 percent rye whiskey, meaning it was distilled from 100% Michigan rye and “pure water from the Great Lakes.” I sometimes like to let the distillery folks tell the story themselves, so here’s information sent to us by them upon request to talk more about this whiskey:
We started distilling our Catcher’s Rye back in the spring of 2013 on our 500-gallon custom-made Vendome copper pot still, which was crafted for Two James in Louisville, Kentucky.
