Lucky Bastard Distillers

The vendor's story page says three friends, Cary, Michael, and Lacey, founded the distillery in 2010 and still lead it, and Global News names Michael Goldney as owner in 2015 and Cary Bowman as president in 2024. Corporations Canada returns no federal corporation, so the company is presumably a Saskatchewan corporation; the Saskatchewan ISC corporate registry was not checked, so the shareholder split rests on the vendor's and press statements.

All spirits, liqueurs, and canned cocktails are distilled and packaged at the vendor's own distillery at 814 47th Street East in Saskatoon, which it describes as the first distillery to operate in the city since prohibition and opens for public tours. The whisky page says the product is made in Saskatoon with local ingredients.

The vendor says its spirits are made with 100% Saskatchewan wheat and the single malt with barley from Maker's Malt, a craft maltster in Rosthern, Saskatchewan. The gin botanicals (juniper, lemon peel, cloves, anise, coriander, angelica) and the pineapple and curacao in the canned cocktails are necessarily imported, and glass, cans, and barrels are not sourced on the site, so the split is an estimate. The store runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform.
