About Distillerie Shefford

Distillerie Shefford is a maple-focused distillery in Shefford, in the Eastern Townships. It is owned by La Cabane à Boubou, a maple business that helped pioneer acérum, a spirit distilled from maple sap and syrup.

Acérum is a uniquely Quebec spirit, and a bottle makes a meaningful gift for friends abroad or anyone who loves maple. Sip it neat after dinner, or use it in place of rum or whisky in a cocktail. Spring, when the sugar shacks come alive, is a fitting time to try it, but it warms any winter evening.
