Mainland Whisky blends historical inspiration with innovative practices

Mainland Whisky is a distillery that combines history and innovation. Inspired by the rebellious roots of Canadian whisky, they're not afraid to experiment and push boundaries. Using American moonshine practices, brewing beer into spirit, and rapid aging, they create unique whiskies that reflect their curiosity and creativity. With a focus on storytelling and community, their Old Fashioned lounge is where distilling and bartending come together, offering expertly crafted cocktails and a flight of distinct whiskies.

Finally made the trek out for my husbands birthday. So glad we did, so many options and varieties to try, broad range of strengths and flavour profiles for those just getting into whiskey or who want something adventurous and new! Our server Devon (Devan?) was so friendly and knowledgeable in explaining which ones had which ingredients, since I have some random allergies that was super helpful! Nice laidback and chill environment, highly recommend 👍🏻
