Profile
In 2004, when Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery first opened their doors they were the only liquor producers in the Canadian province of British Columbia, making them industry leaders in Western Canada. With British Columbia’s restrictive tax laws in place, it was difficult for small operations to get their production up and running. Attitudes changed in 2013, when legislation passed making it easier for craft distilleries to set up shop and since then, many have, but Okanagan still remains the first to carve the way for a rapidly growing whisky industry in Canada.
Father-son duo Tony Dyck and Tyler Dyck run the self-proclaimed “farm-to-flask” company together. Their dedication is apparent in their robust line of products and list of pretty impressive list of awards. Okanagan Spirits has garnered a reputation for quality, receiving World Class Distillery accolades from the European-based World Spirits Awards (WSA), and Distillery of the Year from WSAs in Denmark and Austria in 2013.
