“Distilled from 100% Michigan Grain in Chelsea, Michigan”

Micro-distillery founded in 2009 with the challenge of manufacturing a premium vodka from 100% Michigan wheat that could be sold at a mid-range price. Ugly Dog Vodka is triple hand-distilled in small batches in equipment designed and manufactured by the company's owner. As he likes to say, "we make it the old fashioned way." The Distillery also makes rum and bacon flavored vodka and is in the process of adding more spirits to its line. Store hours are 10:00 am to 5:30 pm Monday thru Saturday and 12:00 pm to 5:30 pm on Sundays. Visit our website to see the episode of Animal Planet's Dogs 101 featuring our mascot, Ruger, a German Wirehaired Pointer. If you visit the Distillery, you will often be greeted by Ruger.
