The Woods Spirit Co. Amaro Classico
Wormwood gives the palate a clear, confident bitterness, balanced by grapefruit zest, bitter orange and the earthy tang of rhubarb root. Grand fir brings a distinctly green, pine-like aromatic lift, while juniper and supporting botanicals add dry spice and depth. The texture is composed rather than heavy, moving from bright citrus into a long herbal finish. Serve neat or over ice, lengthen with tonic or grapefruit soda, or use in a spritz where its citrus and woodland notes can stay vivid.
Belvedere Organic Vodka
Soft vanilla and cream open a clean, polished nose, with almond adding quiet depth. The palate is full and rounded, showing a naturally smooth, velvety texture and a measured balance between sweet and savoury notes. White and black pepper bring restrained spice through the middle, while faint nut and cream tones carry into a sustained finish. Serve well chilled, over ice, or in a dry Martini where the rye character, vanilla and pepper can remain precise.
Howler Head Banana Flavoured Kentucky Straight Bourbon
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
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. A touch of cinnamon and ginger gives the finish energy, while the fruit remains clear beneath the oak. Serve neat, over a large cube, or in a rum Old Fashioned where its toasted wood, dark sweetness and tropical character can stay in balance.
Old Grand-Dad Bonded Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Brown sugar, vanilla and roasted peanut open the nose, followed by caramel and a strong thread of cinnamon. The palate is energetic and warming, with rye spice, light oak and a touch of dried fruit keeping the sweetness in check. A firm bottled-in-bond structure gives the whiskey weight without obscuring its nutty, spicy character. The finish is persistent, with pepper, cinnamon and toasted oak. Serve neat, over ice, or in an Old Fashioned where the rye-driven spice can remain prominent.
Caffo Vecchio Amaro del Capo
Pungent orange zest, mint and liquorice lead a vivid herbal profile, with aniseed and orange blossom adding lift. The palate balances bittersweet orange and honeyed softness against clove, juniper, gentian and black pepper. 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
Soft grain, vanilla and honey give the nose a clean, gently sweet character, with oatmeal and lemon zest adding quiet detail. The palate is silky and lightly creamy, moving from mild malt sweetness into cracked black pepper, dry herbs and a restrained floral note. 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
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
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
Rich and aromatic, with black peppercorn, clove and cinnamon wrapped around baked cherry, prune and molasses. The palate opens with white raisins and dried pineapple, then turns drier and more mineral through the middle. Jamaican depth and Barbadian roundness give the blend both fruit and earthy spice, while the finish remains warm and persistent. 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
Delicate and clean, with a mellow rice aroma and a quiet natural sweetness. A blend of rice and wheat distillates gives the palate a smooth, lightly creamy texture, while fresh fruit and subtle floral notes add lift. Double distillation and birchwood filtration keep the profile polished and free of harsh bitterness. The finish is soft, gently sweet and composed. Serve well chilled, with soda and citrus, or in a Martini where the restrained grain and floral character can remain clear.
The Busker Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
Fresh white flowers, honey and vanilla open the nose, joined by oak, fudge and a light clove-oil note. The palate is rich and coating, with pot-still spice, toffee, baked apple and cocoa balanced by warm grain and measured wood. Malted and unmalted barley provide both weight and lift, keeping the sweetness controlled. The finish is long, warm and gently dry. Serve neat, add a small splash of water, or use in a whiskey sour where the floral and spicy character can stay distinct.
Saint James Impérial Blanc Agricole Rhum
Freshly cut sugar cane leads a vivid, aromatic white rum, followed by light pepper, spice, flowers and ripe fruit. The palate is bold but smooth, with clear vegetal character and a warm opening that settles into a more delicate texture. Cane freshness remains central through the finish, joined by gentle fruit and a clean, lingering spice. Serve in a traditional Ti’ Punch with lime and a touch of cane syrup, or use in cocktails that benefit from a dry, grassy rum profile.
Sharpe Distillery Wheat Vodka
Crisp and clean, with a subtle nose of balsamroot, alpine herbs and fresh earth. British Columbia-grown wheat gives the spirit a smooth, rounded core, while Similkameen Valley water helps keep the profile clear and focused. The palate begins with a gentle spicy warmth before moving into citrus, light sweetness and a hint of salted caramel. The finish is silky and quietly sweet. Serve chilled, with soda and lemon, or in a Martini where the earthy and citrus details can remain distinct.
The Woods Spirit Co. Cascadian Dry Gin
Intensely juniper-led, with bright citrus and a vivid green, herbaceous profile. Fir and pine give the palate a distinctly coastal woodland character, while local Cascade hops add aromatic lift and a measured bitterness. A subtle earthy note and light pepper keep the finish dry, clean and resinous. The bold botanical structure is well suited to a classic gin and tonic, a Last Word, or other robust cocktails where juniper and fresh green flavours need to remain clearly present.
Amaro Lucano
Layered and bittersweet, with citrus peel, dried herbs and gentle floral notes over a dark caramel base. Gentian-like bitterness and liquorice sweetness meet spearmint, warm spice, nuts and subtle fruit, creating a broad palate that remains balanced rather than syrupy. More than thirty herbs contribute complexity, while the finish is long, cooling and softly bitter. Serve neat, over ice with orange peel, or use in a spritz and other cocktails that benefit from a measured herbal depth.
Shelter Point Ripple Rock Single Malt Whisky
Vanilla spice and seasoned oak open the nose, followed by caramel, raisins and a savoury barbecue note. Pepper and clove give the palate a warm, structured edge, while toffee and chocolate soften the finish. Matured in alligator-charred virgin American oak and bourbon barrels, the whisky combines sweet wood, dark fruit and measured spice without losing its coastal clarity. Serve neat and give it a few minutes to open, or add a small splash of water to draw out the caramel and cocoa tones.
No Drama Premium Blended Scotch Whisky
Rounded and approachable, with honey, raisin and vanilla leading into a fuller layer of toffee and dark cocoa. The palate is smooth and gently rich, balancing dried-fruit sweetness with quiet oak and a restrained roasted note. Nothing feels heavy or overly sweet; the blend stays composed through a mellow, warming finish. Serve neat, over a single cube of ice, or in a whisky highball where the honeyed fruit and cocoa tones can carry through without losing definition.
Fords London Dry Gin
Bright and aromatic, with clear juniper framed by lemon, bitter orange and grapefruit peel. Coriander adds a dry citrus spice, while jasmine and orris bring a restrained floral lift. Angelica and cassia provide an earthy, warming structure beneath the fruit, keeping the palate crisp and balanced rather than overtly perfumed. The finish is dry, clean and gently rooty. Its classic proportions work particularly well in a Martini, Negroni or a simple gin and tonic with grapefruit peel.
Copperpenny No. 002 Premium Wheat 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.
Odd Society Porcini & Candy Cap Single Malt Whisky
A mossy, meadow-like aroma opens with sweet earth and savoury maple. Porcini brings a deep woodland and umami character, while candy cap mushrooms contribute naturally maple-like sweetness. The rich palate adds toasted almond, butter, dark brown sugar and burnt caramel around the earthy core, creating an unusual balance of savoury and sweet. The finish is long, nutty and gently smoky. Serve neat and allow it time to open, or use in a restrained Sazerac-style drink where the mushroom character can remain distinct.
Resurrection Spirits Abbey Green Herbal Liqueur
A concentrated herbal profile opens with fresh green aromatics, bitter roots and warming spice. Post-distillation maceration draws depth from a carefully selected range of herbs, creating a powerful but balanced liqueur with sweetness supporting rather than masking the botanicals. The palate is dense and layered, moving from cooling herbs into earthy bitterness and a long, warming finish. Serve in a small measure over ice, lengthen with soda, or use sparingly in cocktails that call for a vivid green herbal accent.
Reyka Small Batch Vodka
Clean and mineral-led, with a delicate hint of creamy vanilla and natural sweetness on the nose. The palate is soft and lightly rounded, bringing subtle citrus zest, fennel, aniseed and white pepper into a crisp, composed frame. Icelandic lava-rock filtration contributes clarity without stripping away all texture, while the finish remains clean, gently spiced and persistent. Serve well chilled, in a Martini with a lemon twist, or with soda where the mineral and citrus notes can remain distinct.
Pemberton Distillery Schramm Organic Gin
Juniper leads a vivid, herbal gin, joined by orange peel, coriander and a distinctly green lift of rosemary and hops. Cinnamon and wild rosehip add warmth and soft fruit, while celery, oregano and cucumber-peel notes sharpen the savoury side of the profile. Distilled from organic potatoes in Pemberton, the spirit has a rounded texture beneath its concentrated botanicals. The finish is dry, aromatic and gently spiced. Serve with tonic and orange peel, or use in a Martini with a savoury garnish.
Riedel Bar Ouverture Tequila
Designed specifically for tequila, the tall, narrow bowl helps concentrate aroma while directing the spirit neatly across the palate. Clear crystal keeps the presentation clean and precise, and the machine-made construction is intended for dependable everyday use. The shape was developed to suit reposado, añejo and longer-aged tequila styles, giving their fruit, oak and agave character room to open without requiring an oversized glass. Dishwasher-safe construction makes it practical for a home bar or regular service.
Wayward Unruly Vodka
A subtle honeyed aroma opens into a full, rounded vodka with gentle sweetness and a clean, dry line. Made by fermenting British Columbia honey into mead before distillation, it carries more texture than a neutral grain spirit while remaining clear and versatile. Soft floral notes and light warmth sit beneath the smooth palate, leading to a tidy finish without overt flavouring. Serve well chilled, in a Martini, or with soda and citrus where the honey-derived texture can add quiet depth.
Sheringham Sirene Chocolate Liqueur
Dark chocolate leads a rich but composed profile, with fruit, citrus and fudge adding layers around the cocoa. A lightly bittersweet edge and hints of leather keep the palate from becoming overly sweet, while gentle back-sweetening gives the texture a smooth, rounded finish. Made in collaboration with Victoria’s Sirene Chocolate, it is designed for slow sipping as much as mixing. Serve neat, over ice, with coffee or in a restrained dessert cocktail where the dark chocolate remains the focus.
Sheringham Coffee Liqueur
Freshly roasted coffee leads a deep, aromatic profile, with espresso, roasted cocoa and vanilla giving the palate weight. Brown sugar brings restrained sweetness, while a trace of citrus and subtle spice keeps the finish from feeling heavy. Made with locally roasted coffee, the liqueur is rich but balanced, moving from dark roast into cocoa and a lightly bitter close. Serve over ice, add to hot coffee or use in an Espresso Martini where the coffee character can remain clear and direct.
Cardamaro Vino Amaro
Dried herbs, chamomile and citrus peel open a gently bittersweet, wine-based amaro, followed by dried apricot, roasted nuts and warm baking spice. Cardoon and blessed thistle provide the characteristic earthy bitterness, while a Moscato base keeps the texture light and rounded. A short rest in oak adds subtle spice and structure without making the palate heavy. Serve lightly chilled as an aperitif, neat after dinner, or alongside salty cheese and charcuterie; refrigerate after opening to preserve its freshness.
Red Bank Canadian Whisky
Caramel and toasted grain lead a smooth, coastal Canadian whisky, with rye spice and roasted oak adding structure. A blend of wheat, rye and corn whiskies keeps the palate rounded, moving from light vanilla and cereal sweetness into gentle pepper and warm wood. The finish is clean and measured, balancing sweetness with toast and spice rather than heavy oak. Enjoy neat, over ice or with a splash of water; it also has enough rye character for an approachable Old Fashioned.
