This story begins with Benoit Gratton and Frederic Geoffroy, two passionate bourbon whisky lovers who, despite their love for this exquisite spirit, felt that there was something missing. While having a local pint at the iconic Pub Italia on Preston street in Ottawa, they developed the blueprint of a whisky that celebrated its heritage while infusing a touch of modernity.

With a shared vision and a deep respect for tradition, Benoit and Frederic set out to create a bourbon whisky that would break away from the ordinary. L’Imposteur Bourbon was born, a bold step toward the future. As their ideas evolved through countless meetings with industry experts, they realized this wasn’t just about honoring tradition—it was about shaking up the whisky world.

Their journey was paved with conversations, tastings, and experiments, all aimed at crafting the perfect recipe. Their partnership is a testament to collaboration and unwavering dedication, the core forces driving L’Imposteur Spirits. But they couldn’t have done it alone. It was the people they met along the way—those who shared their passion and believed in the vision—that helped bring L’Imposteur to life.

The result? A product that stands apart in a market flooded with tradition-bound brands. And the name? L’Imposteur is more than just a label—it’s a bold, playful challenge to expectations, that might, or might not, border arrogance.
