Highwood Distillers, now over 46 years old, is family owned, operated, and remains one of the largest independent distillers in Canada.

The distillery was founded in 1974 and originally operated under the name ‘Sunnyvale’. In 1984, it was renamed Highwood Distillers after the famous river and region that surrounds the distillery in the foothills of Western Canada’s beautiful Rocky Mountains. Until 1997, both the distillery and sales offices were located at the distillery in High River, Alberta. Today, the sales team operates out of Calgary, Alberta while the distillery continues to thrive and grow in High River.
