The vendor says it distils everything on site at 2075 rue Cabot in Montreal, from grain to bottle, and the SAQ lists the whisky as a product of Quebec by producer Distillerie Cirka. The Fraser and Thompson whiskey is a separate collaboration brand blended from North American whiskeys and is not counted here.

Base spirit is 100 percent Quebec corn (St Jean) with Yamachiche rye and St Maurice spring water, and most botanicals are foraged locally, but the vendor also names ingredients sourced from around the world and finishes whisky in Sauternes and Oloroso casks. The split is an estimate; glass and packaging origin was not found. The web store runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform.
