You must be of legal drinking age in your province to buy alcohol. Rules on shipping alcohol between provinces vary, so buy from the maker directly or through your provincial liquor store. We only link to makers; nothing is sold on this site.
Made in Canada
Comont makes its own base alcohol in Bedford: "plutôt que d’acheter notre alcool neutre d’un fournisseur externe, on le produit directement à partir de la matière première, et ce, à même la distillerie."
