BLACK STAR FARMS

Distillery

COME VISIT

At Black Star Farms, our distillery is a place where Northern Michigan's finest fruits are transformed into exceptional spirits. Our cherry brandy captures the essence of the region, made purely from cherries mashed into juice, fermented with a touch of yeast, and distilled into a smooth, clear, 80-proof spirit.

We take pride in crafting a variety of fruit brandies, including those made from local apples, pears, plums, raspberries, and grapes. Using traditional eau de vie-style distillation, our spirits embody the pure essence of the fruit, offering a beautifully balanced flavor that reflects both the fruit's quality and our distillers' artisan skill.

In addition to our clear fruit brandies, we produce barrel-aged varieties from apples and cherries, aged in French and American oak barrels to develop rich, whiskey-like complexities over time.

Whether enjoyed on their own or in one of our seasonal craft cocktails, our brandies are a true reflection of the dedication and craftsmanship at Black Star Farms. Each bottle is carefully distilled to capture the spirit of Northern Michigan, and we invite you to experience the unique flavors of our region through our exceptional lineup of spirits.
