La Société Secrète, c’est le projet de micro-distillerie de quatre complices (Geneviève Blais, Mathieu Fleury, Amélie-Kim Boulianne, et Michaël Côté) de Percé qui a démarré officiellement en 2016, et qu’ils ont installé dans l’église anglicane Saint-James à Cap d’Espoir. Celle-ci date de 1875 et a été désacralisée en 2011. C’était parfait car ils avaient besoin d’un endroit aux plafonds hauts pour leur alambic qui s’élève à 7…
Located in Mont-Joli in Gaspésie, after starting its activities in May, Mitis Distillery officially opened its doors to the public on July 18, 2019. The project was born in 2016 by Yan Lévesque and David Soucy out of a shared passion for spirits and a desire to participate in the region’s development by creating distinctive quality Quebec spirits. The location was selected in large part because of…
La Distillerie du St-Laurent a démarré ses activités en août 2015, elle fait partie des toutes premières microdistilleries québécoises. Les membres fondateurs, Jean-François Cloutier et Joël Pelletier, ont débuté la production de façon modeste dans un local de la rue Rivard à Rimouski, aidés par leurs familles et amis. Cette année là, le St. Laurent Gin est né ! Un spiritueux unique infusé aux algues laminaires récoltées…
Tout a commencé en 2012 dans la péninsule acadienne, à Petit-Paquetville au Nouveau-Brunswick, avec la création de la Distillerie Fils du Roy par Sébastien et Diane Roy. En 2015, Jonathan Roy, frère de Sébastien et fils de Diane, ouvre une deuxième distillerie sous le même nom au Québec, à Saint-Arsène dans le Bas-St-Laurent. Initialement, l’idée était d’ouvrir une agence de distribution des produits familiaux du Nouveau-Brunswick, mais…
Jean-François Rhéault is like everyone else, he has many passions, and as his professional life began to bore him, he decided to combine some of them : gin and music! Two years ago, during a trip to London, the distillery project was conceived and his idea was founded the following year by visiting a distillery in Kelowna, British Columbia. In July 2019, in collaboration with the promoters…
La distillerie Artist In Residence, ou AIR Distillerie, est née d’un quiproquo en Colombie d’où est originaire la femme de Pierre Mantha son propriétaire-fondateur, duquel a germé l’idée de faire une vodka légère. Tant que l’on n’a pas rencontré l’homme, on n’imagine difficilement à qui on va avoir affaire. Il est le genre de personne dont le débit de paroles coule à la vitesse de ses pensées,…
It is the second oldest artisanal distillery in Quebec in operation, (just after Michel Jodoin), and yet, when we think of Intermiel, this is not what comes directly to mind, but of course a beautiful range of honeys! But let’s go back to sum up the adventure of this company. It began in 1976 when Christian Macle and his wife and Viviane, teachers who arrived from France…
Well, let’s start with the bad news, even if the Maison Livernois is listed as a “Distillerie & Pub”, it is a restaurant that currently produces a gin, the Jules Ernest, but this one is not made on the spot! The reason is simple, to imagine what a still is, it is like a giant pressure cooker, and therefore it can be very dangerous. Therefore, laws restrict…
If the story started a little earlier, it was in July 2017 that things became official for the creation of this project. It had to be initially elsewhere, but finally Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts opened doors and facilities which weighed in the final choice of the location. The distillery has started producing alcohol, but that supplies the pharmaceutical industry because of the situation. The partners preferred to postpone the launch…
Champ Libre, born in May 2018 in Mercier, Quebec, is above all a brewery whom also quickly gained success with its beers. However, from the start, this project was going to have a distillery division with a modest production and would be produced in stills consisting of 200 liters. This idea originated by two locals. Alexandre Provost, who worked in the insurance industry and dreamed of owning…
