The mission behind Split Tree Cocktail Co. is rooted in an unrelenting mission to bring people together, to accept each other for our scars and to see each other for what we truly are – inspirational beings capable of love and joy. The folks at Split Tree Cocktail Co. believe in the importance of spending quality time with friends and family, making time for one another and enjoying each other’s company, whether that’s sharing a drink, a laugh, or a cry. 

Founded in the backwoods of Northern Ontario, Copperhead Distillery continutes our founder's legacy of pride + integrity, using traditional distilling methods in each hand-crafted spirit they make. 

For over 40 years Craig Ferchat thrived as an influential entrepreneur, businessman, and innovator. His ultimate dream of founding a distillery was fulfilled in December of 2016 with the opening of Copperhead Distillery. This moment would change the course for his family and would be the beginning of a legacy that will live on forever.

Paradigm Spirits Co. has gained recognition for its award-winning spirits, crafted with care and expertise by skilled distillers and blenders. Alongside their exceptional spirits, Paradigm Spirits Co. features an impressive cocktail bar and restaurant, offering a delectable culinary experience that complements their spirits perfectly. The bar boasts a creative menu of cocktails that showcase the unique flavors of their spirits, and the restaurant offers diverse menu options.

Most spirits tend to be on the clear side — or at the very least, you can see through them. But after spending many years in the bar business, Andrew Kirby, president and co-founder of Hounds Vodka based in Waterloo, wanted to create something that would “intrigue people.” By adding a proprietary blend of fulvic trace minerals and humines to triple-distilled vodka, Kirby made a black-hued spirit worthy of any martini, shaken or stirred. His favourite way to indulge is by making a Hounds Tooth: a vodka cocktail with bitters, simple syrup and just one rock.

This time last year, Jeremiah Soucie and his wife, Sarah Waterson, alongside her brother, Michael, and his partner, Maria Hristova, took over 66 Gilead Distillery, which sits on an 80-acre heritage farm in Bloomfield, Ont. Rebranded as Kinsip House of Fine Spirits, it is more than just a craft distillery, producing grain-based spirits — vodka, gin, whisky and shōchū. Soucie and his partners have been busy carefully creating new recipes for their growing line of bitters — the alcohol-based, botanically infused flavouring agents that were historically used for medicinal purposes.
