Rheault Distillery is a small, artisan distillery in Northern Ontario, creating handcrafted, small-batch spirits from grain to glass. Each product is made individually to meet the highest standards, using homegrown grain and a personal touch. The distillery prioritizes creativity and excellence, offering a range of spirits, including vodka, whiskey, and liqueurs, all made with top-quality ingredients and no additives or preservatives. From the crystalline lustre of their alpha-vodka to the bold flavors of their whiskey, every product is crafted to provide a unique and enjoyable experience.
The distillery's products, such as Loon Vodka and Tamarack Gin, are highly praised for their unique flavors and craftsmanship, with owners showcasing passion and pride in their work, offering informative tours and tastings.
We stopped in Hearst as one of our overnight stays on a roadtrip from Montreal to Saskatoon. Doing a quick google search of local attractions, I quickly became intrigued with the distillery and its offerings. But I did not research the distillery at all- we just decided to go and check it out. Best decision ever. Having not done any research, I was surprised to arrive at a home. We pulled in and parked, knowing we were at the right address, but still thinking maybe we made a mistake. Marcel was already outside, and quickly came to greet us, and had us follow him inside. There was the immediate sense of comfort and familiarity, almost as if visiting with family. Marcel was gracious and detailed with explaining the product & the process. There is clearly a love and pride put into their products, and it shows; both in the passion exuded as he spoke, and in the tasting. We were blown away, and while we have arrived in Saskatoon, this spontaneous visit is still a top highlight of our trip. Mireille is equally as lovely & passionate as Marcel, explaining in thoroughly the thought and detail put into the labelling in particular on the Loon vodka bottle. We took a vast assortment of their products, and while I am very much a whiskey man (the reserve 2015 is exquisite), the Tamarack Gin is one of the best gins I have ever had. True artistry, lovely people- I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Marcel & Mireille

While a television crew was interviewing Marcel, Mireille gave an interesting and informative tour of their operation followed by some sampling of their products...which also includes Irish and Scotch Whisky, as well as a variety of liqueurs (apple, pear, cherry and blueberry). Very unique and interesting.",
