Botanical Spirits. It's in our name for a reason.

When we set out to create our very own Micro-Distillery, the first question everyone would ask is “What are you going to make”. Gin, Vodka, Rum, Whisky, Brandy? The answer was always yes….we want to make all of them!

What we really meant to say was we didn’t want to define our distillery by one type of spirit.    We love playing with different flavours – exploring new tastes and using a wide selection of botanicals.   Botanicals include everything from a plant - the roots, the leaves, the stems, the seeds, the flowers, and the fruit.

Perfect. That’s what we want. Botanical Spirits. Imagine gin steeped with ginger or ginseng, macerate fresh strawberries, add pink peppercorns to a fermentation, vapour infuse peaches, and so on. The possibilities are endless.

Our Signature Product

White Tea Gin
We love gin and the key to a good gin is the mix of botanicals used to create the flavour.    Of course we were going to use Juniper (legally you have to in order to call it a Gin), and we wanted some spice, citrus, and notes of floral.    We also had a history of selling a variety of teas at a local café we owned (Blue Dog) , and have taken tea blending courses so we knew we wanted to experiment with teas.

We selected 14 custom tea blends that were being served in our Café - including Black Teas, White Teas, Green Teas, and several Fruit Teas   After 6 weeks of steeping, and in-depth sensory analysis (aka. drinking every night), a beautiful White Tea was our choice. The blend includes Pomegranate, Coconut, Pineapple, Safflower, Cardamom, and Papaya. The final product is delicate and superbly balanced across its herbal, woody, citrus, and fruity notes.

Our Distillery
The Distillery includes a Tasting Room, Cocktail Lounge, classroom area, and production areas.

In our tasting room, you are able to sample all of our spirits with the assistance of our knowledgeable mixologists who will educate you on each spirit. Our multi- level cocktail lounge is a comfortable space to sit back and enjoy a cocktail with friends and family. The upper level is where our cocktail classes, group tastings, and competitions take place. Also, perfect for your next corporate event.

Our Still
We have a hybrid 1,100 Litre Pot Still with a 4-plate rectifying column and dephlegmator, a gin basket, and condensing column. This is paired with a 1,100 litre Mash Tun and two 1,300 litre fermentation tanks, and a variety of mixing and steeping tanks. With this setup we can produce a very wide range of spirits.
