Liqueur
Ancho Reyes Original Chile Liqueur
Sun-dried ancho chile brings a poised balance of warmth, sweetness, smoke and spice. The palate is rich and layered, with dried pepper, cocoa, toasted almond, cinnamon and tamarind moving through a velvety texture and lingering finish. Serve over ice with a twist of orange, lengthen with soda, or use in a Margarita. It pairs naturally with grilled meats, mole and dark chocolate.
Sons of Vancouver No. 82 Amaretto 750 mL
Bitter almond leads a rich, fragrant aroma, joined by vanilla bean and bright orange oil. The palate is rounded and layered, with demerara sugar and honey providing depth rather than simple sweetness. Citrus keeps the texture lively, while the almond character remains clear through the middle. The finish is smooth, warming and gently bittersweet. Serve over ice, in an Amaretto Sour, or as a measured sweetener in an Old Fashioned.
Xila Licor de Agave 7 Notas Mexican Aperitif
Espadín mezcal provides a gently smoky foundation for a layered mix of caramelized pineapple, ancho chilli, hibiscus and lavender. Cinnamon, clove and black pepper bring measured warmth and savoury lift, while the fruit keeps the palate rounded and bright. The result is aromatic, lightly sweet and softly spicy, with a lingering agave-led finish. Serve over ice with citrus, lengthen with soda, or use to add depth to a spritz.
Chartreux Noix des Pères Walnut Liqueur
Green walnut leads an intense, gently bittersweet aroma, with a layered herbal note adding freshness and depth. The palate sits between a fortified wine and a liqueur in feel, combining concentrated nut flavour with a rounded, savoury texture. Subtle plant-derived bitterness keeps the sweetness composed. The finish is long, warming and distinctly walnut-led. Serve lightly chilled as an aperitif or after dinner.
Fernet Hunter BC
Wild blueberry lends a dark, gently fruity note to an otherwise firmly herbal profile. Arnica and orris root bring earthy bitterness, while lavender gives the aroma a lifted floral edge. The palate is layered and aromatic rather than sweet, with the berry character rounding the bitter botanicals without obscuring them. A long, cooling, floral finish follows. Serve over ice, lengthen with soda, or use sparingly to deepen a spirit-forward cocktail.
Chartreuse Yellow
Fresh herbal aromas lead with citrus, anise and warm turmeric-like spice. The palate is soft and rounded, balancing measured sweetness with floral notes and a gently bitter botanical edge. It is aromatic and layered without the force of a more intensely vegetal herbal liqueur, allowing the citrus and spice to remain clear through the finish. Serve well chilled, over ice or in a restrained spirit-forward cocktail.
Hououbiden Yuzushu 1.8 L
Fresh yuzu opens with vivid lemon, mandarin and grapefruit tones, followed by the fragrant bitterness of the peel. The palate is concentrated yet refreshing, bringing sweet citrus pulp into balance with a clean sake-derived base. A gentle savoury edge keeps the fruit from feeling heavy. The finish is bright, lightly bitter and persistent. Serve chilled, over ice or lengthened with soda alongside spicy dishes or citrus-led desserts.
Alma Tepec Licor de Chile Pasilla Mixe
Layered dried fruit brings raisin, cranberry, cherry, tamarind, blackberry and plum, followed by cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and clove. Natural cane sweetness rounds the spice without flattening the chile's character, while smoke and a light, lingering heat carry the finish. Sip over ice after dinner, or use a small measure to deepen mezcal, tequila, rum or dark-fruit cocktails. Especially good with dark chocolate, roasted nuts or mole-spiced dishes.
Domaine Jean Bourdy Galant des Abbesses Liqueur 750 mL
A historic recipe combines grape juice, Marc du Jura and a touch of Fine with twenty-five East and Asian spices. The mixture is then aged in old wood for two to three years. The producer describes extraordinary complexity and an exotic character, with Indian and Asian spices woven through the flavour profile. Firm structure, tannins, organic certification and a sixteen-percent alcohol level are also recorded.
Chartreuse Liqueur of the 9th Centenary
A powerful herbal core is softened by measured sweetness and a delicate floral lift. The palate sits between the brighter, sweeter style of yellow herbal liqueur and the more intense vegetal depth associated with green expressions, adding layered spice and fresh alpine character. Rich yet balanced, it finishes long, aromatic and gently warming. Serve chilled, over ice or in a restrained spirit-forward cocktail.
