Producer Description
"We’d like to take this opportunity to introduce you to That Boutique-y Brandy/Calvados Company with this 21 Year Old Calvados. This is a particularly intriguing Calvados from Christian Drouin. The story for this one begins at the very end of the year 2000, when the spirit was distilled. Distilled under Appellation Calvados Pays D’Auge Contrôlée, meaning the ciders may contain a maximum of 30% perry pears, and pot still distillation is mandatory. A sherry cask full of the spirit was sent over to Bristol for maturation (similar to how some Cognac is "early landed"). This is a real treat for any Calvados aficionado, one of only eight ‘'early landed' casks ever to be produced. Since that time, laws have changed meaning Calvados can no longer be aged outside of Normandy - so this sort of thing will not happen again, making these bottles extremely rare!"
About the Label
"Our label, designed in-house, designer Toby Dowling has a number of stories tied up in it, as you’d expect. The Lionheart is a reference to Coeur de Lion. The distillery has the trademark for spirits, but a little while back, that budget Camembert brand issued them a cease and desist so they don't use it any more. The route is the route the cask took, Ms Sherry Wood is obvious, and, the stamp shows the cows grazing beneath the high-trunk apple trees they have."
Cadenhead Old Raj Gin 55%
$59.99
Could this be the most amazing gin to hit the Canadian market? We think so! Wine Enthusiast magazine gave it 96 points. It's also exclusive to Kensington Wine Market! Like other premium gins from the UK, Cadenhead is made from a mixture of gin essence (juniper, coriander and angelica) and Scottish grain spirit. What sets it apart from others is twofold: first, saffron, a very rare and costly spice is added to give the gin a spicy flavour; second, the gin is bottled at 55% rather than being watered down to 40%. Old Raj is a premium gin, tailored to the finest tastes!
Noteworthy Gin
$50.99
This is a big gin with a floral-citric backbone. The "New Western Dry" gin was such a hit just in BC that it has delayed the production of the distillery's whisky. We firmly belive Stevely is one of North America's up and coming distillers, so much so that we've already filled our own cask. We love this gin, and know that you will too.
From the producer: Our award winning Noteworthy Gin is our initial signature release which is a hand-crafted, small batch gin made from 100% British Columbian grown barley, carefully fermented in stainless steel and then transferred to our German copper pot still. After three precision distillations – two to clean the spirit and one to infuse our botanicals, it is then both hand bottled and labeled allowing constant monitoring of the quality control process.
"Ceres, the Roman Goddess of agriculture and grain crops, inspired this exquisite gin recipe. Our careful, meticulous process contributes to the smoothness of this refreshing and carefully balanced gin making it ideal for cocktails, the classic G&T or your favorite martini. It’s an incredibly balanced and refreshing gin.
"Everything about Noteworthy, from the premium packaging to the raw ingredients is about quality and craftsmanship. Our attention to detail and passion for high quality spirits is in every bottle."
