Forty Creek Distillery

We had a great tour and learned some amazing things about whiskey! The staff was excellent and very accommodating Will return again and again.

Forty Creek is an awesome spot to stop if you are looking to purchase, or sample some pretty nice Canadian whiskeys. Brewed right on premises, they have a nice selection from their popular Double Barrel Reserve to their Confederation Oak, and many unique varieties in between. There is something for any whiskey connoisseur. There were specialty items such as their maple flavored whiskey that reminded me of liquid pancakes. Their cream was smooth and delicious as well. Samples were at no charge, but we would have been remiss not not leave a nice tip as the staff was warm, friendly and knowledgeable.The tasting space has gone though some recent renovations and is clean and relaxing. There is a special tasting room available if you book in advance (best for larger groups). There was outdoor seating and a gift shop as well. Restrooms are also on premises.The location is conveniently located just off the QEW in Grimsby, We were in town for a hockey tournament right around the corner and this made for a great stop with the team, in between games. Quite a few bottles left with us to enjoy at home as their products and selections were worth of their purchase price!RECOMMENDATION:. We did not have time, but heard the tour of the facility is well worth it and very informative. We will definitely do this the next time we are in town.

The free sampling was well organized. They have 16 products but with a few questions, we quickly identified samples that would interest me. Their copper bold is an affordable and reliable Rye whisky. There is some merchandise in addition to their own bottles, such as cocktail mixing tools. My only wish would be greater transparency on the mash bill (like for many bourbons), as they just won't tell you what's in the bottle (% of rye or corn). Overall, a good shopping experience.

Scheduled a tasting on our way to the AL Reid Memorial Hockey Tournament. Taylor helped us out. She was very knowledgeable about the different choices and offered suggestions on drink recipes and pairings. Recommend you schedule your tasting. They take their time with each customer. We didn't go at peak time and were late, but they were awesome.

After visits to many local wineries and breweries, we finally made it to Forty Creek. They have a spacious tasting room where we sampled several different whiskies and liqueurs. I was quite taken with Oh Canada" which is a maple syrup flavoured liqueur. It was so good I just had to bring home a bottle. It is great on its own and just as delicious with ginger ale added. My partner enjoyed the Original Cream and a bottle of that made its way home as well. We'll be back soon to try more whiskey. Whether you are already a fan of whiskey or just curious head to Forty Creek for a tasting."

Very clean, organized. Easy to find your product. Staff was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about their products.Did some sampling also!

Forty Creek is the distributor for Sangsters Rum Cream from Jamaica yet they do not carry it in the store or supply the LCBO. Sangsters Rum Cream is a superior product and should be available in Ontario.

Disappointing.We were really looking forward to the food but unfortunately nothing quite delivered.The beer was watery, the salad was not seasoned, the salmon did not have skin, the wings were very bland and the seasoning was weak. The ribs were not bad, but they simply weren't great.The only highlight of our visit was the pet-friendly patio.

Stopped by years ago on a whim and have been back several times since. It's a surprising find that has gotten me into Canadian whiskey. They have friendly and knowledgeable staff, and do tastings of their entire lineup. Once a year during the whiskey weekend, they also include a tour of their aging warehouse (smells amazing!). I find their products great for their price points.
