Iron Fish Distillery opened over Labor Day weekend on a 119-acre farm on Dzuibanek Road, a dirt road that is three miles from Crystal Mountain Resort and five miles from downtown Thompsonville, just south of the Manistee-Benzie county line. Nearby meanders the tranquil Betsie River. The rural property is so beautiful that you might sip a spirit and stay all afternoon, and it is so remote that you would slip into the 19th century if it were not for the buzzing of the smart phone in your pocket.
