BC Spirits "Spirit a Day" #101 - Provincial Spirits Gin, Tonic, Rose and Pistachio

DISTILLERY NOTES

Our first Gin and Tonic was an instant classic. Since that's now in our vaults, we've brought it back with new ingredients that make it another crowd-pleaser. Rose, check. Pistachio, you got it. The result? Smooth and silky cocktail to help ring in the warmer weather.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

I know it’s a packaged cocktail, but the team at Provincial Spirits partner with local purveyors like Rootside Provisions for their tonic syrup. As a cocktail bartender, I appreciate a well thought out, crafted packaged cocktail in a can or bottle, why you ask? Because on Sunday afternoon, on the back deck with my family, I don’t want to work. This is a great jacked up G&T for your camping trips, deck weekends, or beach Sundays.

Alcohol - 6.9% / 13.8 proof

Color - Light lemon yellow

Nose - Woody juniper, bright tonic with hints of rose petal

Taste - Jacked up G&T, the gin and tonic is predominant with the elevation of rose and the odd but amazing addition of pistachio.

Finish - Fresh, tonic twang in the background with pistachio and rose in the finish

Best Enjoyed - On the back deck with your feet up

DISTILLERY NOTES

Sidekick is a unique blend of our young, corn-based whiskey - Rebel - infused with cinnamon and honey, bringing a delightful combination of sweet and heat to an already fantastic backbone spirit popular for its hints of smokiness from toasted oak. 

Sidekick is our version of a Fireball cinnamon whiskey but you can enjoy it without regret. There's gentle notes of sweetness and warmth, making it smooth and easy to savour straight.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

I don’t love cinnamon spirits like Fireball, hate cinnamon hearts and the such. But this fantastic substitute from Roots and Wings is a blend of flavorful young whisky, real cinnamon and hints of honey. Get a bottle of this instead of Fireball for your camping trip.

Amazing new products coming out of the Spinnakers distillery and this one is super tasty. Using Sirene cocoa husks gives this a great spectrum of chocolate flavor, not overly sweetened; just a solid Creme de cacao. 

Alcohol - 25% / 50 proof

Color - Translucent chocolate brown

BC Spirits "Spirit a Day" #94 - Mad Lab Gin 6

DISTILLERY NOTES

Gin6 is the first gin release for us, but it will certainly not be our last. A careful blend of 6 botanicals: Juniper, coriander, lime zest, cucumber, bay leaf, and dill which leaves a beautiful, green and fresh, tasting Gin. This unique blend of botanicals is light and delicate, bright and summery, and very soft. Not piney or resinous, this Gin is wonderful in martinis, with a splash of soda, or citrus, fantastic for light summer cocktails.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

Scott from Mad Lab Spirits is very much a mad scientist. We’ve tasted the Ulker Raki in the past, now let’s get into their gin. Classic western gin with a simple but effectively tasting botanical makeup with the addition of cucumber which balances off the spicy botanicals with a nice cooling effect. 

Alcohol - 40% / 80 proof

An authentically well-balanced mixture of heat and fresh Jalapeño flavour sets this Vodka infusion apart from any others in its category.
