Hiram Walker & Sons Limited

Windsor, Ontario

Heritage distilling meets bold sustainability and community spirit

Corby Spirit & Wine blends a century‑old distilling heritage with a modern, sustainability‑first mindset. Walking the Windsor riverfront, you’ll hear the low hum of copper pot stills and see teams swapping stories over barrel‑aged whisky, aromatic gin, and crisp Canadian wines. The portfolio rolls from the robust, rye‑forward Lot No. 40 to the bright, botanical Ungava gin, each batch reflecting local grain and botanicals. Employees treat the site like a living laboratory, constantly tweaking mash bills and experimenting with oak finishes while championing circular‑making initiatives that recycle glass and compost grain husks. Community‑driven events, from free New Year’s Eve rides to on‑site garden projects, underscore a culture that values people as much as the spirits it pours.

Why we love this distillery

The engaging and knowledgeable tour guides, informative insights into whisky history and production, and enjoyable tasting sessions made for a memorable and educational experience.

Whiskey

Rum

Gin

Vodka

Wine

Liqueur

This is a great tour for the money! $15 for a one hour tour of the working distillery and almost an hour taste testing of 4 of their whiskeys! The 2 tour guides were very knowledgeable, funny and entertaining. If you go during the hot months of summer...it’s HOT! You do have to walk up 60 steps...easy but be aware and they ask you to wear closed toe shoes. I loved this tour! Go early so you can enjoy the view of the river and sit at the bar.
