THE MICHIGAN CRAFT DISTILLERS ASSOCIATION was formed in 2014 to organize the growing number of small-batch spirit producers
in the state, serving as a united voice on legislative, promotional and business issues.
Today, the nonprofit organization boasts more than two dozen craft distillery members and four distilleries “in planning” that are schedule to open within the next year. That number increases on a regular basis, along with other craft beverage sectors.
As with any craft or “local” product, educating the consumer is vital. With the growth of the industry comes operations that produce spirits on various levels. The association has established its own definition of a “craft” vs. a “merchant” distiller to help identify operations that actually distill spirits in Michigan.
CRAFT DISTILLER: a distilling organization or brand that produces a distilled product at a facility in Michigan. The Michigan distillery must hold Federal Distilled Spirits Plant (DSP) and Michigan Small Distillers Licenses. And at least 51% of the products produced are fermented and distilled on the licensed premises.
MERCHANT DISTILLER: holds Federal Distilled Spirits Plant (DSP) and Michigan Small Distillers Licenses and acts as an independent rectifier, blender or bottler on the licensed premises. “Merchant” producers purchase their spirits from a larger distillery, often in bulk quantities, and sell it under their own label.
DISTILLERY IN PLANNING: a craft distillery in the process of estab-lishing Distilled Spirits Plant (DSP) and Michigan Small Distillers Licenses, which adheres to all of the requirements as outlined for a “Craft Distiller.”
And what about the labels on the spirit bottles? How can you tell if the products were actually made in Michigan? While there a variety of descrip-tions that can be printed on a label, including, “bottled in,” “distilled in,” “manufactured in,” “produced in,” “aged in” or any combination of those terms, if it reads anything other than “distilled” — at least in whiskey — it wasn’t made by the company.

Allied Members
THE MICHIGAN CRAFT DISTILLERS ASSOCIATION was formed in 2014 to organize the growing number of small-batch spirit producers
in the state, serving as a united voice on legislative, promotional and business issues.
Today, the nonprofit organization boasts more than two dozen craft distillery members and four distilleries “in planning” that are schedule to open within the next year. That number increases on a regular basis, along with other craft beverage sectors.
As with any craft or “local” product, educating the consumer is vital. With the growth of the industry comes operations that produce spirits on various levels. The association has established its own definition of a “craft” vs. a “merchant” distiller to help identify operations that actually distill spirits in Michigan.
CRAFT DISTILLER: a distilling organization or brand that produces a distilled product at a facility in Michigan. The Michigan distillery must hold Federal Distilled Spirits Plant (DSP) and Michigan Small Distillers Licenses. And at least 51% of the products produced are fermented and distilled on the licensed premises.
MERCHANT DISTILLER: holds Federal Distilled Spirits Plant (DSP) and Michigan Small Distillers Licenses and acts as an independent rectifier, blender or bottler on the licensed premises. “Merchant” producers purchase their spirits from a larger distillery, often in bulk quantities, and sell it under their own label.
DISTILLERY IN PLANNING: a craft distillery in the process of estab-lishing Distilled Spirits Plant (DSP) and Michigan Small Distillers Licenses, which adheres to all of the requirements as outlined for a “Craft Distiller.”
And what about the labels on the spirit bottles? How can you tell if the products were actually made in Michigan? While there a variety of descrip-tions that can be printed on a label, including, “bottled in,” “distilled in,” “manufactured in,” “produced in,” “aged in” or any combination of those terms, if it reads anything other than “distilled” — at least in whiskey — it wasn’t made by the company.
Cheers!
