In 2013, two Grand Rapids entrepreneurs set out to create bourbon that could rival Kentucky’s finest. What began as a whiskey-focused distillery evolved into an award-winning destination celebrating craft spirits, seasonal cocktails, and Michigan’s natural beauty.
A decade later, Eastern Kille Distillery opened our new home in Rockford – a 16-acre wooded property where nature meets craftsmanship. Here, we age our spirits through Michigan’s changing seasons, host distillery tours and tastings, while serving refined food with our award winning spirits and cocktails in our architectural showcase – a stunning space recognized for its design by the American Institute of Architects.
An extension of the distillery, our intimate neighborhood cocktail bar in Grand Rapids showcases innovative drinks built around Eastern Kille spirits. Experience our acclaimed cocktail program in a warm, sophisticated setting on the city’s historic Wealthy Street.
