Montis Distilling

Tucked into Function Junction at the south end of Whistler, Montis Distilling brings craft spirits to one of BC's most famous mountain towns. Founded in 2019 as a small-batch operation, the distillery makes gin, vodka and whisky, built on locally sourced malted barley from British Columbia. The emphasis is on a hands-on, artisanal approach, with attention to detail evident in every bottle, and the alpine setting woven into the brand's identity. When you visit, tasting tours give you a window into how these spirits are made, from grain to glass, in an intimate craft setting. Montis stands out for its custom gin program, which invites you to help create a personalized batch tailored to your own preferences, a memorable and genuinely interactive way to take a piece of Whistler home with you. Whether you're sampling the core lineup or designing your own gin, the experience is personal and conversational, the kind of stop where you can talk craft with the people behind the still. The location is a major part of the draw. Function Junction has become Whistler's creative and industrial heart, home to makers, artisans and easygoing local businesses, just minutes from the village and the world-class slopes of Whistler Blackcomb. A visit to Montis fits naturally into a day of mountain exploring, whether you're skiing in winter, biking in summer, or simply wandering Whistler's neighbourhoods. The distillery also keeps a presence at regional farmers markets across Whistler, Squamish and Pemberton, a sign of its roots in the Sea-to-Sky community. For travelers looking to taste the craft side of Whistler beyond its après-ski reputation, Montis offers a warm welcome, a quality small-batch lineup, and an experience you'll remember long after the trip ends.
