Our Story

Ogham Craft Spirits is a small, family owned and operated micro-distillery located in Kanata, Ontario, Canada. We produce unique artisanal spirits from grains and produce of the Ottawa Valley. 

Transparency

Ogham is committed to transparency about what goes into our products. So much so, that we've installed a 14 foot tall window in our tasting room that allows you to see our entire production area. We are proud to use only all-natural ingredients - no additives, no colourants, no artificial flavours - ever. Every ounce we bottle is made entirely onsite using our custom Canadian-made copper pot still.

Sustainability

Environmental stewardship is top of mind. We seek out sustainable packaging - using 100% recycled glass bottles and recycled (and recyclable) packaging materials. Sourcing local is not just a matter of supporting local, we avoid unnecessary commercial shipping of our raw materials wherever possible to reduce our carbon footprint. We strive to find new, innovative and unique ways to dispose of the byproducts of our operations by partnering with local artisans and farmers in support of a circular economy. 

Supporting Local

We believe that Ottawa's spirit should showcase ingredients from local farmers and vendors to build strong community partnerships. The grains at the heart of our spirits are entirely sourced from the Ottawa Valley and we proof our spirits with water from the Lanark Highlands. Using local grains and botanicals requires us to embrace variability and seasonality into our productions - a challenge we welcome in order to foster community ties.
