Monashee Spirits Craft Distillery

Right on Revelstoke's main commercial strip, Monashee Spirits Craft Distillery is a family-run operation turning local BC ingredients and mountain spring water into award-winning spirits. Gin, whisky and vodka anchor the range, and the credentials are serious: the signature Ethos Gin was named Best in Class Gin in Canada and Canadian Artisan Spirit of the Year in 2019. There is a clear focus on sustainability and community, with the distillery doubling as a genuine local gathering place.

That community spirit is most obvious at the on-site cocktail bar, where the team mixes bespoke cocktails from their own spirits in a warm, welcoming room. For whisky lovers there is an extra draw, one of Canada's largest whisky collections, with more than 700 bottles on hand, making this as much a destination for browsing and sipping rare drams as for tasting the house lineup. Whether you come for a flight of the awarded gin or a carefully built cocktail, the bar keeps generous daily hours that suit both an afternoon visit and an evening out.

The location is hard to beat: Mackenzie Avenue in the heart of Revelstoke, a mountain town wedged between the Monashee and Selkirk ranges, with deep-powder skiing and rugged scenery. After a day in the mountains, the distillery is an easy and atmospheric place to settle in. Local sourcing, mountain water, national awards and a genuine sense of community make Monashee Spirits a fixture of Revelstoke's lively main street. Confirm current hours before visiting, then come ready to taste something made with real mountain character.
