Rheault Distillery
Rheault Distillery is a small, artisan distillery located in Hearst, Northern Ontario, which prides itself for creating hand crafted, small batch spirits for connoisseurs. Each product is created individually, from grain to glass, to meet the highest standards set in Ontario and to attract a palate that is both mature and unadulterated.

We understand that the most important feature of anything is what’s inside and that’s why we use homegrown grain and give each batch the personal Rheault-touch it commands. And while you’ll notice we spared nothing when it comes to taste, we also package all of our products in glass bottles to preserve the flavor and to ensure your batch is given the respect it deserves. |Website | Facebook
