My passion for distilling began back in my early teens when I discovered the remnants of a copper still on a family friend’s island in Northern Ontario. I was told of how the old man who once owned the land would distill his own gin and flavour it with the juniper berries that grew there. I remember my imagination running wild with the idea of being able to make my own moonshine and elixirs from scratch. Soon after, I began studying distilling techniques and within several years I was designing and building my own copper and stainless steel stills.
