Just 45 minutes from Calgary, Eau Claire Distillery blends Alberta’s wild prohibition-era history with world-class whisky craftsmanship. Housed in restored 1920s buildings in Turner Valley, this award-winning distillery uses Alberta-grown barley and glacial mountain water to create spirits that rival Scotch and Bourbon. With whisky tastings, a speakeasy diner, Caesar flights, and a massive summer patio, it’s more than a distillery — it’s an experience worth the drive. Canada’s most awarded distillery might just be closer than you think.
