Bridgeland R-Gewurtztraminer Brandy

Distillery

Bridgeland Distillery — Calgary, Alberta

Bridgeland Distillery was founded in 2018 and resides right within — get this — Bridgeland in Calgary, Alberta. If you are looking to go there — and I suggest you do — it is on the corner located on the corner of Marsh Road and Edmonton Trail; just a few blocks North of the Bow River and Memorial Drive.

The Distillery is owned by Daniel Plenzik and Jacques Tremblay and produces a wide variety of spirits distilled from grain and also grapes. One of the things that sets Bridgeland apart is the reuse of different casks that have matured their own brandies and whiskies to add character to other aging spirits. For example: reusing casks that previously mature their brandy to then mature or finish some of their whiskies.

There is plenty to recommend from Bridgeland Distillery. A good place to start would be with their Single Blend; which is an in-house blend that combines a variety of their whisky styles that gets limited releases each year.

Bridgeland's releases are updated regularly as the distillery and their casks continue to mature.
