HAPPENING NOW:
Celebrate Forty Creek Whisky at the annual Whisky Weekend

Emily Vukovic was at Forty Creek Distillery in Grimsby learning the history and tasting the whisky with Master Blender Bill Ashburn. As a master blender he is in charge of all the blends, ensuring the consistency of their regular whisky’s and coming up with new ones.
“In the making of Canadian whisky we blend various whisky’s of different ages together to come up with something that is greater than the sum of the parts.”
Around 19,000 barrels filled with whisky fill the Barrel Room that you can get a tour of at Forty Creek’s Whisky Weekend.
The Whisky Weekend takes place September 23rd and 24th and is a celebration of all things Forty Creek. Along with the tours there is also live music, tastings- including this year’s annual release Cherrywood Reserve, bottle signing and a cocktail bar.
