Bridgeland Old Fashioned 500ML

Bridgeland Distillery is a Calgary-based craft distillery known for its small-batch spirits and contemporary approach to cocktail culture. Focused on quality ingredients, precision distillation, and approachable craftsmanship, the distillery has developed a strong reputation for both its house spirits and ready-to-enjoy cocktail offerings.

The Old Fashioned is crafted using Bridgeland’s whisky as the foundation, blended with bitters and carefully balanced sweetening elements to recreate the classic cocktail’s depth and structure. Inspired by traditional Old Fashioned recipes, the ready-to-drink format is designed to deliver consistency and convenience while preserving the spirit-forward profile and layered complexity expected from the cocktail.

Attention is placed on maintaining balance between oak, spice, sweetness, and citrus elements, resulting in a cocktail that remains smooth and refined without becoming overly sweet. The 500mL format makes it ideal for entertaining or elevated at-home cocktail service.
