Mission Hill 2016 Oculus
The 2016 harvest lasted 76 days and set records for being Mission Hill's and the Okanagan Valley's longest harvest ever. The lack of heatwaves in the summer kept sugar levels and phenolic maturity in sync so that ripening progressed slowly and predictably. Enjoy vivid, deep flavours, great acidity and excellent freshness. Vivid and fragrant, on the nose it’s a bouquet of dense black fruits, from currants to ripe blackberries, with a floral nuance. Layers of earthy character follows, with a cigar box and licorice complexity. The firm tannin structure lends itself to a long, rich and savoury finish.
Macaloneys Invernahaven Single Malt
The Invernahaven was matured in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez casks. This sherried classic single malt has a rich body with a creamy mouthfeel on the palate. The nose throws plums, raisins and spices, complemented by structured tannins and oakwood notes in the mouth, that ultimately yield to a background of expressive malt. The finish and development are long and complex with a hint of sea salt and symphony of diverse flavours. This whisky was made from BC malted barley in Victoria.
De Vine Glen Saanich Whiskey
A terroir focused and authentically grain-to-glass single malt whisky, our Glen Saanich is made from the finest barley grown and malted just minutes from our distillery on the Saanich Peninsula.
Notes of citrus and ripe pear give way to vanilla, cinnamon and clove, then a lingering malty finish and a whiff of sea air.
