Sheringham Seaside Gin
$54.99
This Vancouver Island Gin from Sheringham Distillery is made from a base of Wheat and Malted Barley. Why is it called Seaside Gin? That is because along with more typical gin botanicals, locally harvested winged kelp is also in the mix. Bottled at 43% ABV.
Sheringham Distillery resides in Sooke, BC on Vancouver Island and has been in operation since 2015.
Hoyne Dark Matter American Brown Ale Btl
$9.49
Dark Matter rides the line between a brown ale and porter. With a decently roasted character, filled with chocolate and nutty notes, but a body that is just a little light for a true porter. Either way, it's comforting as all heck.
Sea Cider Rumrunner
$27.49
Rumrunner Cider pours a rich gold with a slight amber hue and nice carbonation. The aroma is intense, warm, dark and very cidery. Sea Cider's Rumrunner has the same intensity in flavor as it does in its aromas, yet it is balanced. Nice acidic edge with accompanying flavors of raisin, rum, leather, toffee and even hints of clove on the finish. The aroma is of sweet apples and a bit of that whiskey in there as well, which resulted in a caramel or toffee note. Very tannic in its mouthfeel.
Definitive Guide 2 Canadian Distilleries
$31.99
The foremost expert on Canadian whisky, Davin de Kergommeaux, has a new book out with his writing partner Blair Phillips. The Difinitive Guide to Canadian Distilleries: The Portable Expert, delves into the growing world of Distillation in Canada. It features proviles of more than 200 distilleries, tasting notes from more than 125 whiskies and more than 50 classic and modern cocktail recipes.
Author's Note
"Two years ago we embarked on a journey to tell the incredible story of the most exciting and cutting-edge distilleries that are shaping Canada’s industry. The book is finally out today in what has become a weird, unnatural world no one could have predicted. While the days are getting longer and we are beginning to feel spring in the air, almost all non-essential businesses in Canada have closed. We are cheered though that despite adversity, almost all of Canada's distilleries have actively joined the effort to fight the pandemic.
"In writing this book, we have gotten to know many of these very distilleries, and we hope their stories and spirits found in this book might be a welcome distraction. And while we cannot visit these distilleries at the moment, our wish is that this book can give you a virtual distillery tour from coast-to-coast. We hope our tasting notes will guide you to new spirits that cannot be missed, many of which you can buy online, so you can then mix your bounty in distillery-specific cocktail recipes."
