In the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, a small family-run craft distillery is perfecting the art of ultra-premium spirits. With a dedication to locally sourced and organic ingredients, every drop that leaves the distillery is a testament to the team's passion for creating traditional, world-class spirits and liqueurs. From the finest Alberta grains to the purest water, the distillery's commitment to sustainability and quality is evident in every product. The result is a line of unique and delicious spirits and liqueurs that are sure to impress even the most discerning palates. With a focus on creating a sustainable legacy for future generations, the distillery is constantly innovating and experimenting with new recipes and flavors.
The distillery offers a delightful tasting experience with a variety of drinks, including whisky, liqueurs, vodka, and gin, made with unique ingredients like red wheat or corn.
While the tasting room is not officially open in the winter, we called ahead and were able to enjoy a delightful tasting experience of delicious and varied drinks: whisky, liqueurs, vodka, gin & soju. Tasting room is open Saturdays in the summer (starting May long) and we will be back for the floating patio!
The distillery offers wheelchair-accessible parking, entrance, and seating, and accepts credit and debit cards.

"text": "My husband and I recently stopped by the distillery for the first time and had a less than ideal experience. It was a rainy day in Edson and we were looking for something fun to do in the area when we came across this distillery on Google.\n\nEven though the place showed open on Google and the gate to the property was open, it’s like they weren’t expecting anyone. The grounds were a mess and they had muddy dogs that came running after our vehicle and kept jumping up on our vehicle and on us. One of them ended up scratching the side of my husband’s vehicle on the drivers door, but unfortunately he didn’t speak up and we didn’t realize how bad until after we left.\n\nThe staff were all yelling at the dogs (throughout our stay), but did little to control them and put them away. We ended up doing a quick tasting, but it felt a bit awkward. The two young guys in the tasting room were friendly enough, but looked and acted unprofessional. The guy behind the bar wasn’t very knowledgeable and didn’t explain much about any of the products. The dad, whom I’m assuming is the owner, came into the tasting room at one point to make sure his son behind the bar was ok. He also came across very unprofessional and didn’t even acknowledge us.\n\nWe ended up buying a small bottle of the amaretto. They didn’t have any product bottled, so we had to wait a bit for them to bottle one for us. We’ve been to many distilleries and this wasn’t at all the experience we were looking for. Their product is good, but the experience and customer service was pretty terrible.",
