Closing out our day, we are thrilled to shine the spotlight on Rig Hand Craft Distillery 🥃

Rig Hand has donated a Distillery Tour and Tasting for 20 people to our Silent Auction, and we know this will be an exciting item for bidders.
This unique experience offers an inside look at the distilling process, the opportunity to sample their handcrafted spirits, and a chance to enjoy one of Alberta's premier craft distilleries.

Located in Nisku, Alberta, Rig Hand Craft Distillery is a family-owned business and the first craft distillery in the greater Edmonton region. They are passionate about supporting local communities and take pride in producing spirits using locally sourced ingredients from Alberta farmers. Their distinctive bottles, modeled after the historic Leduc #1 oil derrick, celebrate Alberta's rich agricultural and energy heritage.

Known for their handcrafted vodka, gin, whisky, liqueurs, and other award-winning spirits, Rig Hand has built a reputation for innovation, quality, and showcasing the best of Alberta.

Thank you, Rig Hand Craft Distillery, for supporting Extreme Cowboy Alberta!
