Distillery Information
The Featherbone Factory — built by E.K. Warren in the 19th century to manufacture women’s corsets — sits on the banks of Lake Michigan just across the Indiana border in Three Oaks, Michigan. As the factory changed hands in the twentieth century, it became a production site for everything from buggy whips to pickles. Today, it’s home to Journeyman Distillery and Bill Welter, Journeyman’s master distiller.
