Canadian Whisky, Crafted at the edge of the Wild

Discover Vancouver Island's new Sanctuary Signature Single Malt Whisky. Produced from locally grown barley that is malted on site, and then matured in a combination of Bourbon, Red Wine, and Phillips Beer casks. Inspired by the coastal forests of Vancouver Island – shaped by wood and water – it honours tradition with a uniquely Canadian coastal character, capturing the rugged beauty and elemental forces of its home.

Our Whisky

Born on Vancouver Island, Sanctuary Whisky embodies the Canadian west coast terroir. British Columbia grown barley malted in house, paired with the marriage of unique barrels lend a hand in creating a truly distinct whisky experience. Explore our whisky collection.

Our Sanctuary

A sanctuary isn’t just a place — it’s a feeling. a refuge. a return. Our whisky offers an experience carved from the wilds of Vancouver Island: deep, restorative, and rooted in something older than us all. Made by Phillips’ Fermentorium Distilling, Sanctuary Whisky is a testament to the coastal terrain from which it hails.
