Project description
Our newest project involves adding a distilling and spirits manufacturing division to our company. We aim to become leaders in the development of 100% locally sourced spirits, made exclusively from pure honey from our own hives and, whenever possible, local botanicals.
Our project consists of manufacturing a brand new room for distillation, setting up a quality control laboratory and renovating our shop/tasting room to make agritourism visits to our facilities even more user-friendly.
Origin of the project
At the Miellerie King, our project has always been to transform the honey from our own beehives into a thousand and one product. In 2019, we were the first to market canned mead cocktails in Quebec and this year, we want to push our innovations even further by creating 100% local spirits from our own honey, from the hive to the bottle.
In addition, a good portion of our strong alcohol will come from the distillation of our tank bases which, in the past, had to be discarded since they were too difficult to filter. So what was a waste becomes a delicious, value-added product. In doing so, Miellerie King will soon be offering gins, brandy, vodka and alcoholic cream.
The Uniqueness of the Project
Distillerie B by Miellerie King is one of the few distilleries that makes its alcohol from start to finish, from beehive to bottle. Most distilleries in Quebec use bulk alcohol from Ontario and redistill it, adding botanicals. While this requires considerable expertise, we decided to take even greater control of our product. At Miellerie King, the alcohol is made from honey from our own hives, and most of the botanicals are locally sourced whenever possible. It's 100% local alcohol!
