Two James Spirits is Detroit's original craft distillery — and one of the most community-rooted spirits brands in America. Founded in 2013 by David Landrum and Peter Bailey in Corktown, Detroit's oldest neighborhood, Two James became the first licensed distillery in the city since Prohibition, named after both founders' fathers — both named James — as a tribute to family, community, and the city they love. Committed to producing only the highest quality environmentally conscious handmade spirits utilizing locally sourced Michigan agricultural products, Two James has become a symbol of Detroit's craft renaissance and a destination for cocktail enthusiasts visiting the city. The lineup spans the full range of American craft distilling — from the high-rye Grass Widow Bourbon finished in Madeira casks, a resurrection of a pre-Prohibition Detroit whiskey brand, to the Doctor Bird Rum built on Worthy Park pot still distillate from Jamaica, the Old Cockney Gin, 28 Island Vodka named after the bootlegger hideouts on the Detroit River, and the adventurous J. Riddle Peated Bourbon. Every bottle carries the Spirit of Detroit. Browse our full Two James Spirits collection with fast nationwide shipping delivered straight to your door.
