Drum Distilling Co.

Drum Distilling Co. is a craft distillery based in Drumheller, Alberta, Canada. The company produces small-batch spirits and operates a tasting room and cocktail bar in the town.

Drum Distilling was founded by Nick and Crystal Sereda and their team, with the distillery becoming Drumheller’s first craft distillery. The company describes its approach as creating homegrown spirits connected to the history and character of Drumheller and the surrounding Alberta Badlands.

Its product range includes gin, vodka, rum, liqueurs, aquavit and other spirits. Among its products are Fanny’s Finest London-Style Dry Gin, Stolen Bones Spiced Rum, Pay Day Vodka and Dalum Taffel Akvavit. The distillery also produces ready-to-drink canned cocktails and Drum Soda Works soft drinks.

The name and identity of Drum Distilling are closely connected to Drumheller’s local history. The company uses stories from the area’s past, including its mining history and local folklore, as inspiration for its spirits and their presentation.

Dalum Taffel Akvavit is one example of this approach. Its name refers to the Danish settlement of Dalum in Alberta and connects the aquavit with the Scandinavian heritage of early settlers on the Canadian prairies.
