Our Story

Our goal is to create pure and interesting beverages, made with diverse natural flavours, for customers looking to enjoy a drink beyond the typical flavor-profile blends.  Our inspiration comes from the cultural mosaic of Toronto, where over 250 ethnicities are represented.

So leaning into unique flavors, celebrated in other regions of the world, is crucial to us. From Korean Pear to Persian Lime, we know our customers crave diversity in their taste palate and overall life experiences. And we're here to deliver that.  We know Nuqi tastes amazing, but also looks it.

We went on an international hunt to find diverse artists to find the right representation of our flavors in art form. That's what our can art represents. You can tell from the shelf that we're a different kind of beverage. 

Dundas Distilling Co. was started by two friends in 2020. Inspired by our travels around the world, Nuqi is our ode to the wonderful cultures and experiences we had traveling the globe. From southern France, to Sicily, From the Carribean to the Middle East and East Asia. We drew on influences near and far to craft something that is truly unique and flavourful. Our propensity for traveling to far flung places and to get off the beaten path has given us the confidence and knowledge to make something that is fun, interesting, and delicious. Having drawn on experience we had from within the industry and in marketing we felt it was important to differentiate ourselves from the flock. Our goal is to help people bridge the divides that separate us and to start a conversation
