I had to laugh when my #ATTAelevate #ExploreAlberta hosted group found ourselves at the coolest distillery I’ve ever been to in Canada, relatively on its own in a lovely small town in the Turner Valley and it turned out to be the same one @chellelabub had told me about several weeks ago when I hosted the Scotland contest. She does their marketing and boy would I ever want her job if I wanted to do marketing full time. Because I have a feeling @eauclairecraft isn’t going to need THAT much of a boost before it explodes into being one of the most sought after distilleries in North America if not the world. It’s that incredible. Owner David and his team — in a former theater turned movie theater where David once saw his first movie — make a vodka so phenomenal you can sip it, ala a fine Scotch, not just put it in a cocktail. Their gin continues that tradition, able to be enjoyed straight or in a cocktail. And their Scotch is in every way competitive with my favorites from Scotland. I was truly blown away. In addition they also make a bottled version of a Moscow Mule which has recently launched, as well as flavored gins and other liquors. Their tasting room experience also, as if the pot even needed sweetening, comes with a charcuterie & cheese board, local bites and a spicy blue cheese dip that is to die for!! We were fighting over it like we hadn’t eaten in days. I didn’t want to leave and it didn’t seem like any of my colleagues wanted to as well. Should you be like me, always interested in trying local spirits/beer/wine - you should @travelalberta as soon as possible so you can visit @eauclairecraft. There aren’t many people making spirits with this level of excellence. #eauclairedistillery #hostedtravel #explorecanada #craftspirits #craftliquor #albertacanada
