Eau Claire Distillery - Home of Canada's Award Winning Whisky

Eau Claire Distillery is in the heart of Alberta’s liquor history, in a series of 1920’s buildings that previously housed speakeasies, a brothel, a theatre, and an old-time bowling alley. It is flanked by the aptly named Whisky Ridge and the old speakeasy locations of Whisky Row and the Dew Drop Inn.

Since inception, we have farmed about 20 acres of barley using Percheron draft horses, antique farming equipment from the 1920’s and traditional methods of farming. It keeps us close to our farm-to-glass heritage and preserves farming methods in place before the age of modern farming machinery. We believe it keeps us connected with the terroir of the land and is an investment in preserving our heritage.
