Review #50 - Citrus Off!

After doing the "Spirit of the Day" with Gillespie's Fine Spirits Lemoncello, I had a call to tackle more limoncellos in BC. I did a tasting way back in the beginning , but it was time for an update. So I did for the first weekly tasting that I have done in some time. Start by tackling some new buys, Moonshine Spirits Citrus Gin, Arbutus Distillery Limoncello, Tofino Distillery Limoncello along with some old favorites in Wood's Limoncello and the underrated Legend Distilling Manitou.

BC Spirits "Spirit a Day" #96 - Roots and Wings Sidekick

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.

Alcohol - 40% / 80 proof

Color - Deep copper orange, burnt sugar

Nose - Woody cinnamon, corn whisky, hints of caramelised honey

Taste - Earthy, real cinnamon, great corn whisky backbone and hints of honey but no sweetness

Finish - Autumn spice, cinnamon, honeycomb and spice

Best Enjoyed - Play around with this in an old fashioned with bourbon 50/50

BC Spirits "Spirit a Day" #95 - Spinnakers Creme de Cacao

Spinnakers small-batch spirits are distilled in our oceanside distillery with 100% BC grown malted grains and water from our on-site artesian well. Made with 100% BC grown malted grains, aquifer water, Sirene cocoa husks, and organic cane sugar.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

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

Nose - Hessian bag full of cocoa husks

Taste - Complex chocolate from sweet milk chocolate to bitter nibs, hints of alcohol but not overwhelming

Finish - Sweet chocolate throughout without cloying sweetness. Very balanced.

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

Color - Clear

Nose - Fresh rain, cucumber skin hints of floral citrus

Taste - PNW gin to a tee, hints of spicy botanicals balanced with fresh cucumber

BC Spirits "Spirit a Day" #91 - Tofino Distillery Jalapeno Vodka

DISTILLERY NOTES

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

BC SPIRITS NOTES

While Tofino Distillery doesn’t have social media, that doesn’t stop them from having amazing spirits. Their jalapeño vodka is aromatic pepper on the nose and then rich, slightly spicy with that aromatic jalapeño bush; green and flavorful. Use your Flavor Bible to match up some fun combos.

Alcohol - 40% / 80 Proof

Color - Light green to clear

Nose - Strong green pepper / capsicum on the nose

Taste - Begins with clean spirit base, then real pepper flavour and then finishes with the spice. Beautiful balance between aromatic pepper and spice heat.
