Essex County is about to welcome its first craft distiller of premium spirits, Wolfhead Distillery.

The media was invited to an exclusive preview of the Wolfhead Distillery facility and discover what they have to offer.

Owner of Wolfhead Distillery, Tom Manherz, found himself inspired by the local history of rumrunning and Prohibition after establishing a third party bottling operation for companies looking to produce small batch specialty lines. Tom’s inspiration soon developed into ideas of building a premium craft distillery. Wolfhead was born.

A craftsman’s operation, Wolfhead incorporates the resources found in its own backyard in producing unique flavours that push the boundaries of standard Canadian Spirits. A distinct element being the neighbouring Amherstburg quarry, the supplier of Limestone treated water used in the production of all Wolfhead spirits.

The Distillery is located at 7781 Howard Ave. Amherstburg, Ontario.
