BC Spirits "Spirits a Day" #360 - Provincial Spirits Gin

One of a kind blend of botanicals with a good kick of juniper and a smooth blend of lime and lemon for a punch of citrus. A classic dry gin that is made for splashing in the deep end of cocktails.

Color - Clear

Nose - Huge citrus on the nose with only slight juniper underlying

Taste - On the palate, it expands but is still very citrus forward with poignant juniper and then complex aromatic botanicals to tie it together

Finish - Big citrus peel and slight juniper berry

BC Spirits "Spirits a Day" #357 - Jones Distilling Bathtub Gin #3 Strawberry

DISTILLERY NOTES

Made with real strawberries and botanicals, our Award Winning gin uses a steeping method to get the full colour, flavour and aroma from the fruit.

Their gin is bright and botanical and the strawberry is perfectly nuanced in the mix. Soft and subtle but still there.

Alcohol - 37.5% / 75 proof

Color - light pinky yellow

Nose - Soft fresh strawberries, then Jones Distilling gin, bright juniper and subtle earthy tones

Taste - The strawberry is soft and fruity on the front of the palate and then the classic gin rolls over the palate with bright juniper and botanicals. Balanced

Finish - The poignant gin is balanced with the soft fruity strawberry

Best Enjoyed - Clover Club riff

BC Spirits "Spirits of the Week" #19 - Mad Lab Sarsaparilla Schnapps

BC SPIRITS NOTES

Two things if you know me well enough is, that I love Scotty from Mad Lab Spirits and I adore sarsaparilla. But don't take these crazy schnapps as those sickly sweet root beer schnapps that you would have had as shots as a kid. These are complex and layered, sassafras, hints of burdock, gorgeous herbal complexity with just a kiss of sweetness. This is close to an amaro without the bitter notes, will work perfectly in a bourbon sour rift to give it some fall feelings.

Alcohol - 30% / 60 proof

Color - Root beer brown

Nose - Soft vanilla, dry sassafras, autumn spice

Taste - Complex herbal and spice notes, sassafras, burdock, nutmeg and clove with underlying vanilla softness

Finish - Dry sarsaparilla lingers with underlying spice notes

Best Enjoyed - In an Old Fashioned or Manhattan rift
