Find your Adventure

How do you take spirits on an adventure?

Well…the easy answer is…you just do it! An adventure can be anything you want it to be. From a small walk around your cul-de-sac or gardening in your back yard to climbing the Chugach Range in Alaska. The definition of adventure is up to you…and that’s the beauty of it. Each adventure is defined by the people (or spirits) involved. We hope our spirits make the perfect companion on your next adventure!

If you don’t know where to start…we make it easy for you. Buy a bottle of our spirits and take a closer look at the top right corner of our logo. You’ll find coordinates that lead you to a specific location. Once you arrive at these locations…you’ll see why we chose them…they’re the perfect spot to enjoy a craft spirit and unplug from the world. Take the time to listen to the environment, take in the views, and once you’re done…take a selfie and tag us on social media. We randomly respond with perks and swag to say thanks for Joining the Adventure.™ Don’t forget to tell us what you like most about the location and to include a little story about what brought you there.

As always…

Please practice a Leave no Trace policy and be considerate of others on the trail. Also, once you take a selfie…put your darn phone away and enjoy the moment. Even better place it on airplane mode so it becomes a very high-tech camera without all the annoying phone calls/emails/text messages.

First Ascent Whiskey

Name of Location: Mosquito River
Location: Munising, MI
GPS Coordinates: Lat. +46.548664 N Long. -86.437882
Reasons for Choosing it: This location was discovered one January in 2011. Our founder was backpacking with a childhood friend, and decided this was the best place to setup camp for the night. “There was something calming and picturesque about the spot,” says Jon Good, President and Head Distiller. “We ended up sitting there next to the bonfire, sipping some whiskey and listening to the river flow into Lake Superior. It was a great location and the perfect one to kick off our wayfinding series.”
Recommendations: Remember to wear a jacket and hang your food bags up…this is bear country. From this spot, follow the river north for a beautiful view of Lake Superior sunsets.

Get Lost Vodka

Name of Location: Kal-Haven Trail
Location: Grand Junction, MI
GPS Coordinates: +42.400322 N Long. -86.056836 W

Abandoned Gin

Name of Location: Sand Point
Location: Munising, MI
GPS Coordinates: Lat. +46.451481 N Long. -86.608365 W
Reasons for Choosing it: We chose this location because it evokes questions and leaves you with a sense of abandonment and wonder.
Recommendations: Visit this site just before sunset. As the sun sets over Lake Superior, the sunlight reflects off the water and onto the boat…highlighting all the textures in the wood hull.

Barrier Ridge Bourbon

Name of Location: Aonach Eagach Ridge
Location: Glencoe, Scotland
GPS Coordinates: Lat. 56.679420 Long. -5.037117
Reasons for Choosing it: This location was chosen for its topographical prominence. We’ve experienced multiple barriers in our company and each one felt as daunting as staring up at this location from the A82 outside of Glencoe. The best way to tackle a barrier is to face it head on….or in this case from the East side via a trail.
Recommendations: The summit of Sgorr nam Fiannaidh makes a great spot to enjoy the scenery.

Backpack Java

Name of Location: Headlands International Dark Sky Park
Location: Mackinaw City, MI
GPS Coordinates: Lat. 45.775471 N Long. -84.781172 W
Reasons for Choosing it: The Headlands Dark Sky Park was one of the first ten dark sky parks established in the world! It’s one of the few protected places that allow for unobstructed views of the night sky. Free from any light pollution, noise, or structures…the view is truly gorgeous. The only thing that can add to the experience is sipping on some coffee or hot chocolate with a little Backpack Java.

Bring a blanket
Make sure to bring a headlamp with a red light setting
