Macaloney's Caledonian
Speyside, Canada · Founded in 2016
Macaloney's Caledonian Distillery, located in Saanich, British Columbia, Canada, is one of the largest craft distilleries in North America. Founded in 2016, the distillery was established with a deep passion for Scottish whisky traditions, bringing Old World craftsmanship to the Pacific Northwest. The distillery operates alongside Twa Dogs Brewery and has gained international attention not only for its whisky but also for a high-profile legal dispute with the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) over its Scottish-inspired branding — a case that was ultimately settled. Macaloney's Caledonian is renowned for producing single malt whisky in the classic Scottish style, using a substantial wash still of 5,500 litres capacity. Their portfolio includes expressions such as the Peated Darach Braiche Island Single Malt, a young peated whisky matured in bourbon barrels. The distillery's range reflects a commitment to traditional methods while showcasing the character of their Canadian terroir. Despite its relatively young age, Macaloney's Caledonian has earned award-winning recognition for its whisky expressions, building a strong reputation both domestically and internationally. Their whiskies are distributed in markets including Europe, demonstrating the global appeal of this ambitious Canadian craft distillery.
