BC Spirits "Spirits of the Week" #20 - Long Table Distillery Curacao

DISTILLERY NOTES

This classic orange liqueur is the result of the distillation and infusion of 10 carefully selected botanicals. Notes of Seville & Naval orange accented with a rich vanilla finish and a lingering sweetness from natural cane sugar. This is the Curaçao you need – Perfect for your most elegant cocktail recipes”

BC SPIRITS NOTES

Another limited edition release from Long Table, this delightful Curacao. A blend of naval and curacao oranges, along with a handful of botanicals thrown in for good measure. On the nose, the naval and curacao seesaw in aroma, from sweet and bright to sour and tart with hints of the complex herbal notes subtle and underlying. The palate just doubles down on these notes, tittering between bright classic naval and the deep, bitter notes of the curacao.

Alcohol - 40% / 80 proof

Color - Delightful bright orange

Nose - Blend of dried curacao bitterness and bright navel orange pop

Taste - Gorgeous orange, balanced between sweet and bitter orange peel perfectly. Rich and complex with the botanicals coming in the back

Finish - Balanced orange sweetness, not cloying at all. Rich and luxurious.

Best Enjoyed - Classic cocktails that call for Triple Sec or Curacao

BC Spirits "Spirits of the Week" #19 - Mad Lab Sarsaparilla Schnapps

BC SPIRITS NOTES

Two things if you know me well enough is, that I love Scotty from Mad Lab Spirits and I adore sarsaparilla. But don't take these crazy schnapps as those sickly sweet root beer schnapps that you would have had as shots as a kid. These are complex and layered, sassafras, hints of burdock, gorgeous herbal complexity with just a kiss of sweetness. This is close to an amaro without the bitter notes, will work perfectly in a bourbon sour rift to give it some fall feelings.

Alcohol - 30% / 60 proof

Color - Root beer brown

Nose - Soft vanilla, dry sassafras, autumn spice

Taste - Complex herbal and spice notes, sassafras, burdock, nutmeg and clove with underlying vanilla softness

Finish - Dry sarsaparilla lingers with underlying spice notes

Best Enjoyed - In an Old Fashioned or Manhattan rift

BC Spirits "Spirits of the Week" #18 - Wayward Distillery Raspberry Gin Liqueur

DISTILLERY NOTES

But like the saying goes: when life gives you raspberries, you crush the hell out of them, add a touch of raw honey and blend them together into premium gin - obviously ;)

This bright and refreshing Raspberry Gin Liqueur will be your best friend all summer. No awkward conversations about vaccines or masks, just put it on ice, over bubbles, or substituted into any of your favourite gin cocktails and simply enjoy!

BC SPIRITS NOTES

Have absolutely loved the pivot that Wayward has done this year in the way of diversifying their production. Their Raspberry Gin Liqueur is no different, fresh peak season raspberries on the nose with hints of gin creeping in the background, subtle and subdued. On the palate, it explodes with freshly squeezed raspberry, bright acidity and a solid foundation of the Unruly Gin holding it forward; not sticky sweet, just bounds of fruity sweetness. Must try in a Clover Club.

Alcohol - 25% / 50 proof

Color - Deep raspberry red

Nose - Big bouquet of fresh raspberries with the subtle undertones of the gin botanicals

Taste - Balanced sweetness with bright raspberries and acid along with the bite of the gin; the gin is definitely understated

Finish - Balanced sweetness, not cloying, the finish is of fresh raspberries and bite of juniper

Best Enjoyed - Clover Club

BC Spirits "Spirits of the Week" #17 - Alchemist Distiller Artemisia

DISTILLERY NOTES

Produced from apples grown in the Okanagan Valley, and a blend of 14 herbs and flowers, Atemisia is a herbal liqueur with authentic alpine bouquet of flowers. Among the botanicals used, 5 herbs are from the mystical Artemisia family, from which the liqueur gets it’s name.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

To say I was excited about this would have been a huge understatament. We have a ton of amari in BC, but no herbal liqueurs similar to Chartreuse, Strega or Benedictine; until now, with the Alchemist Distillers Artemisia. A mild 50% alc/vol strength, huge herbal notes on the nose very akin to Chartreuse Vert, and it flows onto the palate with gorgeous fruitiness, balanced and complex herbal notes, menthol and herb garden notes of rubbed sage. Time to make BC Last Words.

Alcohol - 50% / 100 proof

Color - Vibrant orange

Nose - Rubbed sage, menthol and fragrant wormwood

Taste - Balanced sweetness, complex herbal notes, fragrant wormwood, aromatic apple notes with hints of sage, menthol and spring herb garden

Finish - Balanced sweetness, spiked herb notes, hints of hops, fragrant menthol

Best Enjoyed - BC Last Words all day!

BC Spirits "Spirits of the Week" #16 - Indigenous World Spirits Vodka

DISTILLERY NOTES

Perceptible sweetness from nose to palate of cacao, nuts, grape and peach. Lifted and creamy.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

I am loving what Indigenous World Spirits is doing, loved both their gin and their single malt. The gin is fruity and poppy and I now understand where a lot of that fruitiness comes from. Their vodka has a pleasant cereal note on the nose that then flows into gorgeous fruity grain on the palate. Nice vodka to try out on your macro drinking friends.

Alcohol - 40% / 80 proof

Color - Clear

Nose - Fresh rain, hints of creamy vanilla

Taste - That fresh rain minerality comes through on the palate along with hints of vanilla and dry cacao

Finish - Clean finish of minerality

Best Enjoyed - Great substitute for macro brands
