Iceberg Vodka is a privately held Newfoundland brand, founded in 1995, that melts harvested icebergs at its Port Union plant and has the vodka blended and bottled at the NLC's Rock Spirits facility in St. John's. The company says it is owned and produced entirely in Canada, with Canadian corn spirit and Newfoundland iceberg water. The legal entity is provincial, so ownership rests on the vendor's own statement and could not be checked against a registry.

Factors

Ownership

100.0 reported

CA 100%

The site is published by Canadian Iceberg Vodka Corporation (the terms page says Iceberg Vodka Corporation, and PEI Liquor lists the supplier as Iceberg Brands Corp.), and the home page states the brand is the only national vodka owned and produced entirely in Canada. Corporations Canada returns no federal corporation under any of those names, so the entity is provincial; the Newfoundland and Labrador Companies and Deeds Online and Ontario Business Registry checks could not be run this session, and no acquisition or outside investor was found in press.

Manufacturing

CA 100%

The vendor says harvesting, distillation, bottling and packaging all happen in Canada. The iceberg water is stored at the company's plant in Port Union, Newfoundland, and the NLC's manufacturing division in St. John's lists Iceberg Vodka among the partner brands it blends and bottles.

CA 100%

The company describes itself as born and raised in Newfoundland, its harvest crew and water plant staff are in Newfoundland, and bottling is contracted to the NLC in St. John's. The site publishes no corporate office address, so the St. John's head office is taken from the candidate card and the madeinca.ca listing rather than from the vendor.

The water is harvested from icebergs off Newfoundland under a provincial licence and the neutral spirit is distilled from Canadian corn, per the vendor. Glass, closures and labels are not disclosed, so the small non-Canadian share for packaging is an estimate.
