About Us
Copper Cork started the way a lot of good Alberta stories do - with four friends, a big idea, and a willingness to figure things out as we went.
​
What began as conversations in a shop turned into long nights, early mornings, and eventually a working still. Today, Copper Cork Distillery is proud to call Vermilion home. This community backed us from day one, and that support is something we don’t take lightly.
​
We built this place to be more than somewhere that makes spirits. We wanted it to feel like walking into a friend’s shop - familiar faces, honest conversations, and a drink poured the right way. Our spirits are crafted with care, using quality ingredients and a lot of hands-on work, because that’s how we believe it should be done.
​
You don’t need a special occasion to stop in. Whether you’re finishing a long shift, catching up with friends, or just curious about what we’re making, there’s always room at the bar. We’re proud of what we produce, but we’re even prouder of the people who walk through our doors.
​
Copper Cork is built on hard work, prairie roots, and community. And at the end of the day, that’s what we’re really raising a glass to.
