Canadian Mist Distillery: History, Whisky Range and Visitor Guide
Updated: 19 hours ago
Canadian Mist became an established Canadian blended whisky brand associated with distilling in Collingwood, Ontario. Its brand ownership and production arrangements have evolved, so early bottlings and modern ones should not automatically be assumed to have the same company ownership.
The distillery uses large-scale grain processing and maturation to produce a light blended Canadian whisky style. It is distinct from another Canadian distillery merely because they share a province.

How the whisky is made
