Ironworks Distillery is a micro-distillery located in the historic port of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, where traditional methods and local ingredients come together to create unique spirits. The distillery is housed in a 19th-century marine blacksmith's shop, adding to its charm and character. With a focus on sustainability, Ironworks Distillery crafts its products from scratch, using locally sourced ingredients and minimizing waste. From rum to gin, vodka to whisky, and liqueurs to eaux-de-vie, the distillery's product range showcases the best of Nova Scotian flavours and ingredients.
The distillery's unique spirits, high-quality products, and knowledgeable staff are major draws, with visitors appreciating the historic venue, handcrafted methods, and entertaining tours.
At a cute-small-unique town as Lunenburg, visiting the local distillery is just... magic. Many tourists, as myself, get fascinated by stories and this distillery has plenty. They have great selection of spirits and rum. For me, that was born in one of the most famous rum producers in the Caribbean, tasting the quality of their rum is just a high-end experience. Don't miss to come here when you are visiting Lunenburg, you'll love it!!!
Ironworks Distillery offers wheelchair-accessible parking and entrance, and accepts debit cards and NFC payments.
