My husband and I stopped in here recently during a trip of Ottawa - it was the middle of the day on a weekday so it was pretty quiet (which was fine by us!). Small spot with great selection. The person we spoke to (sadly we were so caught up in the amazing product that we forgot to get his name!) was knowledgeable and friendly.
All the liquors we sampled were incredible...it was hard not to buy a bottle of everything. The gin I tried is also some of the best I've ever had in my life. We'll definitely be back!

Nice to buy local spirits produced in Ottawa! I tried the vodka. It was pretty good and had a nice after taste. Had good stock considering the lcbo strike. Customer service was fantastic and informative

Great customer service! Love how their products are made in Ottawa. They had a decent stock considering the lcbo strike. I tried the vodka. Its pretty good almost reminds me of a white rum! Looking forward to doing the tour in the near future.

My father joined the Royal Navy in 1941 and subsequently the Royal Canadian Navy in 1952. For some 30 years, rum was an integral part of his working life. While in (and out of) the navies, trips to the Caribbean and its distilleries were frequent. So, dad knows rum and, more to the point, dad knows good rum from mediocre rum. Dad says North of 7 Leatherback Special Reserve is amongst the best he's ever tasted. I agree. It is extremely smooth (esp. considering its 57% alcohol) with just a bit of water and equally lets a can of Coke know who is boss. I've been enjoying their gin for some years now, which I take with a cube of ice (one cube only). Yes, we buy their products because they're local but moreover because they're damn good! We've just started on their whiskies...more to follow.

I'll start by saying I'm a huge fan of their whiskey and the fact that it is made in Ottawa is even better. However, from a business operation point of view I find it incredibly frustrating that I went to their shop to physically pick a bottle up as a gift, and they were closed, with no announcement of such on their door or on their social media. I'm not in a position to order online from them so I need to actually pick it up from them. I waited for half an hour to see if anyone would open and during that time 6 other individuals attempted to enter the store as well. I'll of course go back and pick up a bottle when they do open but I find it very poor and disappointing business that they can't do a simple task of keeping their customers informed of their true operating hours, especially with the approaching holiday season.

Excellent craft distillery. I have not tried the rum so I cannot speak to it, but I have sampled or bought all of the other products and they have all been excellent. I returned today after not having visited for ten months and the service and friendliness of the staff was still the same. They also had a new single malt whisky offering that was excellent. The staff member who served me told that it tastes like an Irish whiskey and he was correct. I was great and I bought one right away after sampling. If you live in Ottawa or the surrounding region or are visiting this place is worth a visit - especially if you are a whisky or gin drinker.

Got a tour from the owner. A neat place to visit and learn about a Canadian micro-distillary.
Love their gin! Nice complex. Great in anything or neat!
Ian Johns
I love their various whiskies, especially the bourbons! Their gin and rum are great too.

Great locally distilled whiskey. If you like Kentucky Bourbon, this is as close as you'll get in a craft distiller in Eastern Ontario.Highly recommended. Smooth neat or with a rock or two.
