DISTILLERY NOTES

CanadaOne is named after the distiller’s cut—the purest one percent of a spirit that is achieved for a brief moment at the peak of distillation. To get to that one percent, we use one grain, from one farm, at one distillery. Our vodka is refined and smooth, distilled in a 20 plate column still for maximum purity. With true provenance, we use barley grown right in front of the distillery. Once it’s in a glass, there’s no mistaking it. CanadaOne vodka is as pure as the barley and spring water it’s made from—an unmistakably Canadian vodka.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

We all know and love Shelter Points whisky but they don't do a bad job at making a tasty vodka either. 100% malted barley from the farm is distilled to a gorgeous textural vodka with some funky notes on the nose, great grain structure and a long lingering finish. I would do a burnt martini using their Smoke Point and the Beaufort Vermouth.

Color - Clear

Nose - Funky grain notes, hints of fresh rain on hot concrete, stonefruit notes

Taste - Fruity stonefruit and grain notes, a little funk with a great creamy texture
