Père Magloire X.O. Calvados Pays d’Auge 500 mL
French Brandy
Quince paste and candied orange open the nose, joined by cinnamon, black pepper and blond tobacco. The palate is rich but composed, layering caramelized apple and warm compote with candied apricot, cocoa and mature oak. Double distillation and more than nine years in old oak casks give the spirit depth and length without losing its apple-driven character. The finish brings warm apple compote and a broad blend of spices. Serve neat in a tulip glass after dinner.
Blue Chair Bay Pineapple Rum Cream
Barbadian Liqueur
Fresh pineapple leads the nose with a bright tropical character, followed by a creamy, smooth palate and a subtle coconut note. The texture is rich and custard-like when chilled, but the fruit remains vivid enough to keep the sweetness lively. Pineapple carries through a refreshing, lingering finish with soft coconut in the background. Serve thoroughly chilled or over ice, lengthen with coconut sparkling water, or blend into a Piña Colada where its fruit and cream character can remain central.
Odd Society Commodore Canadian Single Malt Whisky 375 mL
Canadian Whisky
British Columbia-grown malted barley gives the whisky a clear grain-led core and a distinctive peppery sweetness. Dark fruit and tobacco add depth, while more than three years in former bourbon barrels bring caramel, vanilla and a measured layer of oak. The palate is rounded and confident, balancing dried-fruit richness with gentle spice and toasted wood. A long, warming finish leaves toffee, dark chocolate and malt behind. Serve neat or add a few drops of water to open the sweeter notes.
Shanky’s Whip Original Black Liqueur and Irish Whiskey Blend

A silky texture carries through a lingering caramel finish. Serve chilled or over ice, add to coffee, or use in an Espresso Martini or spirit-forward cocktail where its vanilla, caramel and whiskey notes can supply both sweetness and depth.
Admiral Vernon’s Old J Spiced Rum
Rum
Persian lime gives this spiced rum a vivid citrus lift, set against sweet vanilla, caramel and warm baking spice.

Citadelle Jardin d’Été Gin
French Gin
Juicy Charentais melon brings a rounded fruit core, lifted by whole lemon, yuzu and orange zest.

Serve with tonic and a lemon twist, or use in a bright Martini where the citrus and melon can remain clearly defined.
Shelter Point Saratoga Sands Dry Gin
Canadian Gin
Estate-grown juniper leads a classic London-dry profile, supported by coriander, angelica root and a restrained citrus line.

Serve with tonic, use in a Martini, or pour into a Negroni where its grain weight and botanical depth can hold their shape.
The Liberty Distillery Truth Oat Vodka – Distiller’s Reserve
Canadian Vodka
Organic British Columbia oats give the spirit a distinct grain character, delicate nuttiness and a quiet hint of vanilla.

The palate is clear and full-bodied, with vanilla, nut and citrus carrying into a long, polished finish. Serve well chilled or in a Martini, where its oat character and creamy weight can remain evident.
ABA Pisco
Chilean Brandy
Muscat grapes from Chile's Elqui Valley give this clear grape spirit a fragrant, softly floral character.

Ampersand Distilling Co. Per Se Vodka
Canadian Vodka
British Columbia-grown wheat gives this vodka a clear grain character, gentle sweetness and a creamy, rounded mouthfeel.

The palate is smooth and composed, with soft cereal notes carrying into a clean finish. Serve well chilled or over ice, or use in a Martini and other spirit-forward cocktails where texture matters.
The Liberty Distillery Truth Vodka
Canadian Vodka

Serve with a light tonic and orange peel, or use in a Martini where the tea, citrus blossom and vanilla can remain precise and uncluttered.
Odd Society Maple Rye Whisky
Canadian Whisky
Robust rye spice opens the palate, joined by cassia, dried apricot and toasted marshmallow.

Canadian Vodka
Clean and precise, with a neutral grain character and a smooth, lightly rounded texture. Organic winter wheat gives the palate a quiet cereal softness, while pristine coastal water keeps the profile clear and composed.

Howler Head Banana Flavoured Kentucky Straight Bourbon
American Whiskey
Ripe banana and brown sugar lead a sweet, immediately recognizable nose, with gentle spice and toasted oak keeping the fruit grounded. The palate is smooth and rounded, combining natural banana flavour with caramel, vanilla and a warm bourbon core. Oak and spice gather toward the finish, preventing the sweetness from becoming flat and leaving a lingering banana-bread impression. Serve over ice, lengthen with cola, or use in an Old Fashioned-style drink when a bold fruit accent is the point rather than a background note.
Stade’s Barbados Rum Bond No. 8
Barbadian Rum
Toasted oak, raisins and stone fruit lead into cigar box, leather and a quiet caramel note. The palate is smooth and layered, bringing tropical fruit, coconut and vanilla together with dark molasses, brown sugar and warming spice.

Caffo Vecchio Amaro del Capo
Italian Liqueur
Pungent orange zest, mint and liquorice lead a vivid herbal profile, with aniseed and orange blossom adding lift.

Twenty-nine Calabrian herbs, flowers, fruits and roots create a layered character without losing focus, while the finish is long, cooling and mentholated. Serve very well chilled, over ice, or use in cocktails that benefit from firm citrus, warming spice and a clean herbal bitterness.
Beluga Noble Russian Vodka
Russian Vodka
Soft grain, vanilla and honey give the nose a clean, gently sweet character, with oatmeal and lemon zest adding quiet detail.

The finish is warm, clean and moderately persistent, with spice gradually overtaking the initial sweetness. Serve well chilled, with a simple citrus garnish, or in a dry Martini where its grain, honey and pepper tones can remain precise.
Shelter Point The Collective Whisky
Canadian Whisky
Bright vanilla and sweet cinnamon lead into a generous layer of ripe fruit. The palate is lively and composed, with floral lift, clean oak and a gentle grain character beneath the spice. Cherry-like wood notes and a light coastal salinity add depth without overwhelming the fruit, while the finish is long, herbaceous and warming. Serve neat and allow a few minutes for the aromatics to open, or add a small splash of water to draw out the vanilla, fruit and subtle sea-salt detail.
Aalborg Taffel Akvavit
Danish Other Spirits
Clear and focused, with caraway at the centre of the profile. Lemon peel adds freshness, while a light aniseed note brings quiet sweetness and spice beneath the herbal core. The palate is dry, direct and warming, with the botanicals carrying cleanly into a persistent finish rather than becoming heavy. Traditionally served well chilled, it is a natural companion to cured or smoked fish, pickled dishes and other Nordic fare, and it also works in savoury cocktails that call for a firm caraway character.
Planteray Original Dark Rum
Rum
Rich and aromatic, with black peppercorn, clove and cinnamon wrapped around baked cherry, prune and molasses.

Serve over ice, lengthen with ginger beer, or use in a rum Old Fashioned where its dark fruit and baking-spice character can stay prominent.
Masahiro Seara Japanese Craft Vodka
Japanese Vodka
Delicate and clean, with a mellow rice aroma and a quiet natural sweetness.
