Who We Are

Water Tower Distilling Co is a producer of premium spirits whose values are Community, Pride, and Quality, with a focus on inclusivity. We are a proud Michigan Craft Distillery based out of Ypsilanti, which has a rich tie to American history. This is where the original Rosie The Riveters rolled up their sleeves and kept a B-24 Liberator rolling out of Willow Run’s assembly plant every minute during WWII, and a stop on the Underground Railroad. Ypsilanti was America’s “Arsenal of Democracy,” and an integral part of Michigan’s auto industry since 1932.

As Ypsilanti’s first Distillery, we hold ourselves responsible to put the pride and quality into our spirits that our city has put into our country.
