Our Story

Born for the Free-Spirited Adventurer

"We didn't just want to make vodka — we wanted to build a brand for the young at heart. The free-spirited adventurers like ourselves."
— The Kazanowski Brothers

What began as a dream became one of Michigan's largest and most celebrated craft distilleries. We took over the historic Bay Harbor Equestrian Center, preserved its character, and turned it into something entirely new — a place where world-class spirits meet Northern Michigan's wild spirit.

Today, Gypsy Distillery spans 42,000 square feet across 20 acres overlooking the blue waters of Little Traverse Bay. Every pour tells the story of this land.

Craft Spirits

Michigan in Every Bottle

Small-batch, handcrafted in Northern Michigan. Each spirit captures the wild, free character of this remarkable corner of the Great Lakes.

VDK

Gypsy Vodka

The original. Exceptionally smooth, quintessentially Michigan. The spirit that started everything — crafted to drink straight or in cocktails that surprise.

Denver Int'l Spirits · Gold Medal 2018
GIN

Petoskey Stone Gin

Named for the iconic fossilized coral found along Little Traverse Bay. Botanical, bright, unmistakably Northern Michigan in every sip.

London Spirits Competition · Gold 2020

Inspired by the storied island just across the Straits. Rich, warmly complex — a rum that carries the legend of Michigan's most storied destination.

A second chance in every glass. Aged with intention, smooth by character — a whiskey that earns its place beside the very best.
