Black Fox Farm and Distillery at a glance

The history of Black Fox Farm and Distillery

The operation grew out of a Saskatchewan farming family and presents itself as a field-to-glass producer. Alongside whisky it makes gin and runs tours, farm visits and seasonal experiences on the property.

The distillery has expanded into unusual Canadian grain whiskies made from rye, oats, triticale and barley. Limited annual casks and small blends create bottlings that differ by grain, wood and vintage.

Owners and founders

Black Fox farm and distillery founding team. Current status and ownership can differ from the founding story, as noted where appropriate.

Grains, distillation and maturation

The operation grows grain on the estate, ferments it, distils it and matures whisky on site. Extreme weather conditions create large seasonal swings in the warehouses but each whisky's age and release must be considered individually.

Its 2025 Blended Whisky is composed from selected rye, triticale and oat casks, bottled at 49.4% ABV. The single grain Triticale label reflects a crop that is a hybrid of wheat and rye, not a blend of unrelated grains.
