Our Story
The Wash began with a simple idea: create a space where the rich traditions of American bourbon culture could flourish in the beauty of Michigan's Thumb region.
Named after the "wash" stage of bourbon production—where grain, water, and yeast first come together—our establishment celebrates the craft, patience, and passion that goes into every bottle we pour.
Since opening our doors, we've become a gathering place for locals and visitors alike. Whether you're a seasoned bourbon enthusiast or just beginning your journey, our staff will help you find a pour you'll like.
