DISTILLERY NOTES
The journey begins with the annual grain harvest just a few kilometers from our family distillery. We then hand-grind, ferment, and distill on site, using our state of the art, 50-plate, copper-pot still to ensure absolute purity.
Our blend of botanicals—many of which come straight from our Master Distiller’s garden—are then added to the spirit, which is then re-distilled.
Okanagan Spirits Essential Collection gin salutes the local herbs and botanicals that grow in the Okanagan region as well as introduces a few of the exotic Gin classics.
Juniper forward with spruce tip overtones, coriander to balance, rhubarb for past good memories, orris for a fleeting moment, violet flower for some and rose because we like rose to balance the silky smooth texture.
The spiciness of our local grain adds strength to balance the tempering floral overtones. Neat on ice or further developed in a symbiotic relationship with a citrus-based tonic we invite you to experience the exceptional.
BC SPIRITS NOTES
Shocked to say that this never has been on the show and the grain based gin from Okanagan Spirits is a crowd pleaser. Classic based gin with the classic juniper and botanicals but it's the rhubarb and the lemon balm that really does it for me. Bright and aromatics balanced with those stand out flavors make it unique.
Alcohol - 40% / 80 proof
Color - Clear
Nose - Fresh rhubarb, lemon balm, spruce tips and just a spring garden
Taste - Sweet and fruity then leans into the savory notes of that lemon balm and then finishes in the classic New Western Gin styling.
Finish - Sweet spring garden, long and fresh
Best Enjoyed - Swap in for your White Lady cocktail
