Although you could declare this as a shop, the staff gives you tons of information how their produce is made AND you can experience it by yourself. The classic smell of a wood burning distillery, the ambience in this 100+ year old building, the old distillery itself, the fine bottles which are displayed, the recipes you can grab and try at home.... we really enjoyed our stay and we tried some of the "good stuff". And yes: It is good! Recommended for interested persons - and you can definitely learn something about the distillery. Try the maple rum and the maple cream rum. You won't be disappointed.

Had an excellent tasting here with Meg. She and the staff is all really sweet and knowledgeable - really easy to talk to! It was our first time in beautiful Lunenburg and the distillery was as charming and historical as the rest of the town. What I really liked about the distillery was all the framed photos and prints of Lunenburg and the tallships, really illustrating its history in town! We made out of there with a few bottles and definitely will come back again! Thank you for such a wonderful day Meg and team!

We came here on a Sights and Spirits tour, the new 3-in-1 tour in the Lunenburg Walking Tours. I’m not much of a spirits drinker, but the Distillery tour was a lot of fun! Not only do you learn about the distillery industry/production, but you also learn about the history of the building which is SO cool! The tour guide, Meg, gave us very reasonable samples of all kinds of rum, liquor, and gin. My favourite was the vodka and the maple rum cream!

The staff were so infectiously enthusiastic about what they do, and they were clearly so proud of the products they are able to make! The science lessons and questions our group had were answered with expertise and humour. The history of the building really sings through...

My family and I had a private tour / tasting here when we were visiting Halifax. Tyla was our tour/tasting guide/host. She was awesome. She did knew a lot about the history of the building and the company, as well as how the spirits are made.

I really admire that they only create alcohol based on what they can source locally. I think that it makes a difference because the quality of the alcohol is very good especially at that price point.

Because we are flew to Halifax, we didn't have a...

Drove through Lunenburg looking for parking and noticed Ironworks Distillery. Almost forgot to visit because we parked on the other side of the wharf area. Do not leave Lunenburg without first checking out this place! First off, the building is ripe with age and character. The weatherbeaten exterior suggests not even the harshest Maritime storm could shake even a shingle.

Oh, the alcohol. Amazing flavours. My wife and I shared our samples with each other so we got to sample 6. 3 samples...
