Our Distillers
Associate Members
Associate Membership is open to NSLC-licensed Nova Scotian distilleries that retail blended products made from purchased bulk spirits, as well as entities with a vested interest in the craft distilling industry.
Commitment to Quality
Craftsmanship You Can Taste
100% Nova Scotian Distilled
Certified products must be entirely distilled and bottled in Nova Scotia by the original producer, ensuring authenticity and local craftsmanship.
Artisan Production Standards
Distillers must apply their own techniques in fermentation, blending, infusion, or aging. Simply mixing purchased spirits with water, flavouring, or aging without re-distillation does not qualify.
Application & Annual Compliance
Distillers must apply for certification and submit an annual declaration confirming continued compliance with program standards.
Certification Mark
Certified products display the official "Nova Scotian Distilled" mark, granting consumers confidence in their quality and origin.
