FORBIDDEN SPIRITS
FROM THE HEAVENS FOR THE TAKING
In the beginning, there was the apple, plucked from the branch by roguish hands. There were Adam and Eve and the serpent conspiring in the Garden of Eden, to eat from the Tree of Knowledge, to taste the most delicious and Forbidden of all fruits.
FARM TO FLASK
We at Forbidden Spirits Distilling Co. take delight in capturing the purest essence of British Columbia’s finest produce. Our small batch process offers us the time to carefully attend to each step from the orchard, to the distillery, to the cocktail in your hand. From our own apple orchard to our close relationship with local farmers we strive to use the finest local fermentables to craft an exquisite variety of seasonal spirits.

DUBH GLASS
FROM THE HEAVENS FOR THE TAKING
It’s not just about the whisky at the Dubh Glas Distillery – although it is our first priority. It’s about a passion to create a distillery from the ground up that uses the finest raw products and materials available.
From the Canadian barley and select botanicals in Noteworthy Gin, to the cooperage making our whisky barrels, every step of the process has been thoroughly researched before it is used in crafting our spirits.
We want to showcase our Dubh Glas products however, we also want to educate our customers about our distilling process and highlight everything the world of whisky, gin and spirits have to offer in the emerging Craft Distilling industry.

TROUBLED MONK
INSPIRING OTHERS THROUGH OUR CRAFT
It is more than the combination of grain, wood, water, and time. It is the prairies and the people who live and work upon them. It is the grand sum of it all that cannot be explained; it must be experienced and enjoyed.
GrainHenge symbolizes Alberta’s rich history of grain elevators, mills and abandoned wood structures that are the iconic symbols of the prairies.
The monuments that inspire awe and motivate gatherings much like an ancient henge, shrouded in mystery.
