AboutCopperpenny Distilling Co.
Jennifer Kom-Tong and Jan Stenc began making spirits in North Vancouver in 2021. The husband-and-wife team share the work: Kom-Tong leads blending and designed the gin parlour, while Stenc is head distiller. Visitors can see the working distillery from the adjoining lounge.
They use British Columbia grain, mountain water and locally foraged botanicals alongside ingredients from farther afield. Gin leads a range that also includes vodka, akvavit and seasonal liqueurs.
Copperpenny Just A Sec Triple Sec Liqueur
Canadian Liqueur
Vivid and aromatic, this small-batch citrus liqueur captures fragrant peel oils, fresh fruit and a rounded touch of vanilla sweetness. Singular distillation and an unfiltered finish preserve an expressive, slightly textured profile, with orange zest carrying cleanly through the close. Use it in a Margarita, Sidecar or any drink calling for triple sec, or pour a small measure over ice with dry gin.
Copperpenny No. 002 Premium Wheat Vodka 750 mL
Canadian Vodka
Light and composed, with a creamy texture and a clean grain character. Soft white wheat gives the palate a gentle roundness, while notes of cantaloupe, white flowers and fresh fir add lift without becoming perfumed. Pure British Columbia mountain snowmelt supports a clear, smooth profile, finishing with quiet fruit and measured warmth. Serve well chilled, in a dry Martini with a lemon twist, or with soda where its delicate floral and woodland notes can remain distinct.
Copperpenny No. 006 Oyster Shell Gin 750 mL
Canadian Gin
Wind-dried lemon brings a bright opening, followed by Okanagan desert sage and a clean juniper frame. Locally sourced Fanny Bay oyster shells add a subtle mineral and umami quality rather than overt salinity, linking British Columbia's interior botanicals with its coast. The palate is contemporary and finely balanced, with citrus and herbs moving into a gentle briny note. A crisp finish leaves lemon peel, sage and coastal minerality behind. Serve with tonic or in a dry Martini.
