If you’re in the Canmore area, Wildlife Distillery is an absolute must-visit! Their dedication to crafting exceptional spirits is evident in the variety of liquors and cocktails they offer, each showcasing their passion and creativity. From vibrant gins to rich whiskeys, there’s something for everyone here.

A standout is their Rundle Bar Gin, made in partnership with the iconic Fairmont Banff Springs and its renowned Rundle Bar. This gin is pure magic—it changes color when mixed with citrus, adding a playful twist to an already luxurious cocktail experience. Knowing their products are featured at such a prestigious venue is a testament to their quality and artistry.

The distillery itself exudes warmth, expertise, and a deep connection to the region. Whether you’re a seasoned cocktail connoisseur or just curious about local spirits, Wildlife Distillery is a can’t-miss stop. Cheers to a perfect blend of local charm and world-class spirits!

Great distillery that we've visited the last few times we've come thru! They've expanded so I guess business is good. The bar area now extends into the previous distillery area, one of the original stills is back there, great ambiance! Tried the rhubarb g&t, delicious

Amazing experience! Stopped in on a rainy day in August, met Reese and grabbed a stool at the bar. I went with the whisky flight, and Reese did a great job of detailing the 4 different whisky choices, very engaging and passionate about the multiple award-winning products that they produce and sell … vodka, gin, cocktails, and more. Would highly recommend, this place has a great vibe and awesome music to make a great stop on any day, rain or shine.

The cocktails were all good, the service was just ok, the bartender doubled as the server. Their bottles are expensive compared to established brands, but obviously cannot be produced in the same volume. None the less their whiskeys go for $75-110 for 750ml.

A bit out of the way but worth the stop for a flight. Amazing gins (The Rundle and Blackberry Plum 👌). Whiskeys are impressive and would be great around a fire. Cocktail menu looks delicious and if it weren't a 3km walk back to our hotel, would definitely have a few too many.

My husband and I recently hosted our rehearsal dinner / cocktail hour at Wild Life. We were extremely pleased with our experience. We rented the back room for 24 guests and the space was set up perfectly for the occasion. We coordinated in advance of the day with Freya; she was excellent to work with and responded to all of our questions quickly and professionally. Keith and Wild Life staff took orders from our guests swiftly and remembered exactly who ordered what (difficult to do with 24 people!). The cocktails were some of the best that we've had, and this sentiment was echoed by our guests. We would definitely recommend Wild Life for any intimate event you plan to have!
