Eau Claire Single Malt

Some things can't be rushed. This single malt spent seven years in the Alberta foothills becoming what it is. It starts with 100% Alberta malted barley and glacial water from the Sheep River. From there, every choice along the way was made on purpose.

The Casks

Character starts in the wood. We fill European oak casks with a #3 char, deep enough to open the oak and let the whisky reach the richer flavours inside. The barrel heads get a lighter touch, a gentle toast that coaxes out caramel and vanilla. Then ex-bourbon barrels bring it all together with a soft, rounded sweetness.

The Foothills

Our casks rest in Alberta's only traditional dunnage-style warehouse, more than 4,000 feet above sea level. Up here the temperature can shift by several degrees in a single day. With every swing, the whisky moves deeper into the oak and back again, picking up depth and character each time. We call it the Angels' Gift, and it's something you can taste.

THE EAU CLAIRE DISTILLERY DIFFERENCE

The elements come together

Every drop we make at Eau Claire Distillery embodies the unique provenance of our Turner Valley home. Rich Alberta soil yielding prized Alberta barley. Glacial melt flowing from Mount Rae’s Sheep River to bring clear water.

Altitude & Horse Power

Our high altitude location gives us the Angels’ Gift of amplified flavour, with more interaction between distillate and wood. We harness nature’s bounty using both old world horse farming methods and new world distilling techniques. Groundbreaking with tradition to lead the way in Canadian whisky. 

From Farm to Glass

Every one of our small batch whiskies is produced using barley we grow and harvest ourselves. Unlike most distilleries, we raise our whisky from seed and see it through to round, complex and balanced drops.
