Crafting Nova Scotia Spirits: Behind the Scenes at Ironworks Distillery

On today's episode of GINspired, I sit down with Lynne MacKay and Brad Deller, the visionaries behind Ironworks Distillery, to uncover the artistry, passion, and craft that define this Nova Scotian gem. Together, we explore their philosophy of product development, sustainability practices, and the challenges of distilling, offering you an insider's peek into the heart of Ironworks Distillery.

About Ironworks Distillery
Ironworks is a micro-distillery located in the old port of Lunenburg on Nova Scotia’s historic South Shore. We truly love the process of creating our spirits and liqueurs from scratch. We never fail to get excited by the first loads of fresh apples in the fall, by the sweet aromas of the fermentations, by the delight of the first taste of pear coming off the still. We feel privileged to be able to work with great growers, and their exceptional fruit. We welcome you to share the tastes of Nova Scotia in our spirits and liqueurs.

Come visit, Take a tour, Enjoy a taste.
