Whisky Rideau

After a century-long whisky drought, we brought whisky back to Perth, Ontario in 2016.

Flash forward to today, we have over a decade of experience putting our stamp on contemporary Canadian whisky with our bourbon-style Rideau. This is what we’re all about: a blend of the traditional with something entirely new and different that breaks the classic Canadian whisky mould.

Named after the Rideau Trail, Lanark Highlands Rideau Whisky starts with first-use barrels from a cooperage that produces the most sought-after white oak barrels used for ageing bourbon – Kelvin Cooperage.

Our mash of corn, barley and rye is made from 100% locally grown and milled grains. We use spring water from right here in Lanark County. The end result is a smooth, complex, distinctive flavour that leaves a lasting impression in every dram.

But don’t just take it from us.. Rideau Whisky is award winning – taking home platinum amongst some stiff competition at the 2024 SIP AWARDS.
