Forty Creek Whisky is a Canadian distillery located in Grimsby, Ontario, renowned for its innovative approach to whisky making. Founded in 1992 by John Hall, an experienced winemaker, the distillery has set new standards in the Canadian whisky industry. One of Forty Creek’s key innovations is the separate fermentation, distillation, and aging of different grains—corn, rye, and barley—before they are carefully blended. This unique method allows each grain to contribute its own character to the final flavor profile. In 2000, Forty Creek introduced its most iconic whisky, Barrel Select, which quickly earned numerous awards and critical acclaim. The distillery has continued to innovate, releasing limited editions and special series that explore new flavors and techniques. In 2014, Forty Creek became part of the Campari Group, enabling the brand to expand into international markets. Despite the change in ownership, the distillery remains committed to quality and innovation, as reflected in accolades such as “Whisky Maker of the Decade” at the Canadian Whisky Awards in 2020. Today, Forty Creek offers a diverse range of whiskies, including classic expressions and cream liqueurs, delivering an authentic Canadian whisky experience for connoisseurs around the world.
