Highwood Distillers Canadian Rye Whisky.
Distillery History
Highwood Distillers Ltd is one of Canada’s few privately owned distilleries that produce a complete portfolio of fine spirits, premixes, and liqueurs for sale in Canada, the U.S, and overseas.
The distillery was founded in 1974 and originally operated under the name “Sunnyvale.” In 1984, it was renamed “Highwood Distillers” after the famous river and region that surrounds the distillery in the foothills of Western Canada’s beautiful Rocky Mountains.
Until 1997, both the distillery and sales offices were located at the distillery in High River, Alberta. Today, the sales team operates out of Calgary, Alberta while the distillery continues to thrive and grow in High River.
In November of 2005, Highwood Distillers purchased Potter’s Distilleries, British Columbia’s distillery, and expanded their portfolio with over a dozen new established brands.
Potters Distillery
Ernie Potter founded the Potter’s Distillery back in 1958, which originally only bottled and sold liqueurs, However over the years expanded into spirits.
In 1962, Captain Harold Cameron Terry (Captain Terry) - who started his career at 14 as an Australian seaman- acquired Potter’s Distilleries. He made the company public and it was its CEO for 20 years. In 1990, production was moved from Langley to Kelowna, British Columbia where it remained until 2006.
During 2006-2007 the Highwood distillery has undergone major renovations with an expansion of a new 45,000 square foot warehouse.
