About Compass Distillers
Compass Distillers focuses on creating artisan spirits using as many locally-sourced ingredients as possible. From wild botanicals to grain, they are Halifax’s only grain-to-glass distillery.
This triple-threat of a company not only operate a distillery in the heart of Halifax’s North End, but also have an artisan cocktail bar and unique Airbnb attached to the business. They heavily support the agricultural ecosystem within Nova Scotia, where in 2022 they surpassed using 51 tonnes of Nova Scotian-grown grain to make their spirits. Compass also supports many local causes, such as the Nova Scotia Beekeepers Associate, where they’ve donated over $16,000 in just 5 years via sales of their signature spirit, Gin Royal.
