Nestled in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, The Tin Roof Distillery stands out as a craft distillery that blends tradition with innovation. Established in 2021, this family-run gem specializes in distinct whiskeys aged with locally sourced Virgin charred woods, a process enhanced by ultrasonic vibrations for a unique flavor profile. Each small-batch run, or 'single malt,' offers a subtle yet intriguing variation. Sip on whiskies like Scorch Smoke 'n Oak or Maple Spirit, or experience their Organic Series. Beyond whiskies, their Vodka and Gin, elevated by quality ingredients like juniper botanicals, earn them nods as top spirits. Discover the Tin Roof experience, complete with delectable tastings and live events that enhance your visit.
The Tin Roof Distillery is praised for its friendly owners, welcoming atmosphere, and excellent products. Visitors enjoy tasting flights, knowledgeable staff, and reasonably priced options, leading to a positive and memorable experience in Lunenburg.
We stumbled across this place when exploring Lunenburg. We originally had no intention of purchasing anything but they offered us Samples and we enjoyed it so much we ended up buying two bottles. We especially enjoyed their Maple Bourbon, Rose Gin and the dark rum and they were reasonably priced. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. Definitely must visit when in town!!

My stand outs were the Apple Cinnamon and the Deja Brew coffee, but all were tasty. Was the first one in that day and so was able to chat pleasantly with the owner about their distilling techniques, and even got to sample a couple other liquors with them =)",
