DISTILLERY NOTES

Unruly Gin starts life as 100% pure BC Honey. We gently ferment our honey into mead and distill that mead to spirit using custom designed stills to separate out the harsh heads and the oily tails, ensuring that only the softest and sweetest hearts are ever collected. We then distill those hearts one final time, using vapour infusion to capture the delicate and bright aromas of our unique blend of locally sourced and organic botanicals.

This unique starting point, paired with a variety of traditional and West Coast ingredients, will make this Unruly Gin stand up in any cocktail or martini and stand out as a must-have for the gin enthusiast. Unlike traditional juniper heavy London Dry gins, Unruly Gin is a refreshingly alternative Canadian-style gin that has balanced and complimented its juniper with a hint of cedar and citrus, a dash of fragrant lavender and sarsaparilla root, and the vibrant notes of coriander.
