Here, you’ll be able to enjoy small batch whisky, grab a bite to eat and marvel at the beautiful 1.21-acre urban estate which was once a power substation.

“This is a dream project for us. Calgary is truly the best place in the world for True Wild to call home,” said Bryce Parsons, whisky maker and founder of True Wild Distillery.

“It’s an ambitious undertaking and we take incredible pride in bringing new energy to a piece of Calgary’s past. We can’t wait to introduce our premium spirits, engaging experiences and world-class architecture to Albertans and the World.”
