Puyjalon Distillery, nestled in the rugged landscape of Quebec's CĂ´te-Nord, embodies the spirit of adventure and exploration that defines its namesake, Henry de Puyjalon. With a passion for crafting unique and authentic spirits, the distillery combines traditional techniques with the region's distinct flora to create a truly distinctive range of products. From the crisp, oceanic notes of its gins to the smooth, complex flavors of its whiskies, every spirit tells a story of the region's untamed beauty and the people who call it home.
The distillery offers smooth premium gin, exceptional vodka, and a variety of beers, including a notable 5% beer, with knowledgeable staff and generous tastings.
Forget the boat trips .head here..a proper cultural experience. A 20 minute walk from the port. The Fausse Passe 5% beer is English awesome. The premium gin is one of the smoothest I've ever tasted. ( I drink tanq 10 and Hendricks and their's is unfortunately way better ). Vodka too is exceptional. Out the way bit..if u get to the main road with an airport sign, turn around and head back, take the next right..then 100tds then right again. Happy days .. Is now $10 cad for tasting...or could be just when a cruise ship is in.
The distillery offers free parking options and has accessible facilities, including entrance and parking.
