Iron Fish’s Ice Storm Whiskey
Bottoms Up
Dec. 6, 2025
When the trees fell during the 2025 Michigan ice storm, maple syrup producers saw their livelihoods fall too, as over 100,000 sugar maples were destroyed. Iron Fish Distillery’s latest release, the Ice Storm Whiskey, was crafted in partnership with the Michigan Maple Syrup Association to help raise awareness and funds to restore sugar bushes in the region. The campaign included a series of dinners around the state from Petoskey to Detroit to demonstrate the craft of both spirits and syrup. The Ice Storm Whiskey is limited-release made with “a blend of fine whiskeys finished in maple syrup, cognac, and Scotch barrels” and “crafted to be enjoyed over ice.” While you’re picking up a bottle, be sure to snag some of their bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup for all the holiday brunches ahead.
