Vancouver Island
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. Milling, fermentation and distillation are handled by the producer before the spirit is brought to proof with spring water, preserving a sense of body without heaviness. 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.
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.
Shelter Point Ripple Rock Single Malt Whisky
Canadian 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.
Wayward Unruly Vodka
Canadian 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
Canadian 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
Canadian 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.
Wayward Drunken Hive Rum 375 mL
Canadian Rum
Caramel, toffee and vanilla open a rich, rounded nose, followed by a brûléed sweetness that remains balanced rather than heavy. Fermented from molasses made with caramelized British Columbia honey, the spirit is distilled on custom stills and matured for at least fifteen months in full-sized bourbon casks. The palate carries honeycomb, oak and soft baking spice through a smooth centre. A smoky honeycomb note gives the finish length and definition. Sip neat, pour over ice or use in spirit-forward cocktails.
Stillhead Islay Cask Single Grain Canadian Rye Whisky 750 mL
Canadian Whisky
Sweet grain and lively rye spice open the palate before a measured layer of Islay smoke moves in. Peat is present but controlled, bringing char, earth and a light saline note rather than dominating the whisky's Canadian rye character. The middle remains smooth and gently rounded, balancing sweetness with peppery warmth and smoky depth. A clean, warming finish carries rye spice, soft peat and a final hint of brine. Enjoy neat or with a small splash of water.
Sanctuary Whisky Signature Edition 2026 Canadian Single Malt Whisky 750 mL
Canadian Whisky

The palate is balanced and easy-moving, with enough depth to reward a slow pour while remaining fresh and direct. The finish is clean, softly warming and grain-led, with restrained oak lingering behind.
Shelter Point Montfort Canadian Single Grain Whisky
Canadian Whisky
Light floral and fresh-fruit aromas lead the nose, followed by honey and raisins on a creamy, rounded palate.

The finish is creamy, lightly medicinal and persistent. Serve neat or with a little water.
Macaloney’s An Aba Lightly Peated Canadian Single Malt Whisky
Canadian Whisky
Light peat and spicy pine lead the nose, followed by orange liqueur, tropical fruit and a bright touch of lemon.

A marriage of bourbon, Oloroso, red-wine and fortified-wine casks brings breadth without overwhelming the malt. The finish is warming and gently smoky, carrying citrus, fruit and spice.
