In Surrey, British Columbia, Lohin Mc Kinnon Whisky is the result of an unlikely alliance between two men who could out‑brew and out‑distil most of the pretentious hobbyists you’ll ever meet. Gary Lohin, a brewing virtuoso with a quarter‑century of experience and three World Beer Cup medals hanging on his wall like trophies, brings the precision of a seasoned alchemist. Across the table sits Stuart McKinnon, a Scotsman whose decade at Central City has taught him that patience and a good copper pot are worth more than a thousand Instagram posts (the duo’s partnership feels more like a well‑timed duet than a gimmick).

The product line is nothing short of a masterclass in single‑malt ambition. Their Niagara Wine Barrel Whisky, for instance, marries the buttery smoothness of a classic malt with the audacious character imparted by Ontario wine barrels, delivering a sip that feels both familiar and daring. The whisky’s flavor profile is distinctive, the character unmistakably unique, and the overall experience is, quite simply, amazingly good. In short, these guys have managed to combine the best of brewing and distilling into a spirit that stands out in a crowded market without resorting to empty hype.
