Crafted in the Hand; Michigan-Made Spirits at Nucleus Lounge in Alpena

Posted on August 15th, 2019
What do bananas, rye, and Alpena all have in common? 

Answer: the one and only perfectly custom-crafted Journeyman Distillery rye whiskey- only available at Nucleus Lounge in downtown Alpena!

Chef Eric Peterson of the Fresh Palate/Nucleus Lounge wanted to bring a signature style to the drinks in Nucleus, so in early December of 2018, he took a trip to Journeyman Distillery in Three Oaks, Michigan.

After tasting through numerous barrels of Journeyman’s Last Feather Rye whiskey, “the one” turned out to be a rye with unique notes of ripe banana and smokey vanilla. Thus, an entire barrel of Eric’s palate-pleasing rye was bottled and shipped off to the Nucleus Lounge for the patrons to enjoy! Another thing that made Journeyman Distillery the right choice for the Nucleus Lounge is it is certified USDA organic, as well as kosher. This fit in perfectly with the brand of Nucleus Lounge/The Fresh Palate as always using the freshest, organic ingredients whenever possible.
