Hayman's Sloe Gin
$39.99
A must for cocktail aficionados and history buffs! "Hayman's Sloe Gin is a traditional English liqueur made to a long standing family recipe. Wild hand-picked sloe berries, a type of wild plum, are handpicked in the autumn after the first frosts from the blackthorn tree," according to the family behind Hayman's. "The early frosts lock in the vital sugary plum notes that define Hayman's Sloe Gin. The sloe berries are gently steeped for several months with Hayman's Gin before blended with natural sugars. The final blend is a rich ruby red liqueur bursting with smooth and intense bitter sweet fruit flavours. Sloe Gin has been a popular drink from the 19th Century onwards as a digestive and winter warmer and was a required bar item during the first cocktail era in the 1880s."
Rivo Gin
$79.99
The Rivo GIn hails from Lake Como in North Central Italy. The gin makers take after the witches of local legend who wandered the countryside near the lake and foraged herbs for their own esoteric use. Lemon Balm and Thyme are among the botanicals used. The gin is incredibly pretty with a big hit of floral perfume, and underlying notes of lemon, tea, and culinary herbs.
Masahiro Okinawa Gin

The fermented rice and koji are very noticeable as the base, and layered overtop are massive citrus notes, herbal green flavours, and hints of earthy black pepper.

Pickering`s Gin
$66.99
From Edinburgh, Scotland, Pickering’s gin is based on an original Bombay recipe, handwritten on a fragment of paper dated 17 July 1947. Kept as a family secret for over 66 years, it only resurfaced in 2013 when Summerhall Distillery founders Marcus Pickering and Matt Gammell decided to bring the recipe back to life.
Some fine-tuning perfected its balance of botanicals and the result is a spectacularly smooth, refreshing and flavoursome gin.
The 9 botanicals – juniper, coriander, cardamom, angelica, fennel, anise, lemon, lime and cloves – are carefully measured and added to the grain spirit in a 500 litre copper still. Named Gert.
The secret of the gin’s smoothness is Gert’s ingenious, custom-designed bain marie heating system. This provides a gentle all-over-heat to the still. Thus the botanicals enjoy a luxurious simmer that coaxes out their subtle, soft, highly drinkable flavours.
Marvellously mixed, small batch Edinburgh dry gin, with soft citrus, hints of cinnamon and delicious nutty notes.
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."
