Esquimalt Kina-Salal
$39.99
From the Producer;
"Kina-Salal is the sequel release to our famous quinquina, Kina-Rouge, the first quinquina style wine made in Canada since WWII and a Double-Gold Winner at the 2021 San Francisco World Spirit Awards.
First developed in France, Quinquina (pronounced 'ka-kina') also known as Tonic Wine. It is a sweet wine that has had a dosage of quinine added, just like Tonic Water is sweetened water with bitter quinine added. To add to the naming confusion, it is also frequently called a 'Kina'. In the case of our Kina-Salal, we used a mead (honey wine) base and wild salal berries and blueberries to pump up the berry juiciness before diving into the astringent bitterness of quinine. Enjoy over ice or topped with soda water. A splash of gin certainly doesn't hurt.
In this new, seasonal, release we crushed 100kg of wild Salal Berries, foraged on Vancouver Island by Ben and Célia of Forest for Dinner, and aged the Salal on our blueberry-blossom mead for 4 months before finally adding 16 different botanicals including trailing blackberry leaves, blueberries, elecampane, dandelion root, ginger and, of course, quinine. The final blend was then aged for an additional 5 months before bottling.
Only 125 cases were made for this 2024 batch. "
Esquimalt Bianco Sweet Vermouth
$31.99
From the Producer;
"18% ABV
Bianco Vermouths are often used to substitute a Rosso Vermouth where a lighter cocktail variation is desired. While this vermouth is made in the Sweet style with hints of our Rosso Vermouth, it had a vibrancy all it's own and works wonders in highballs, or just poured straight over ice. It is not overly sweet by any means, it's sweetness is balanced with it's herbaceous bitterness and brightened up with lemon peels. One of our favorite cocktails is a White Negroni using equal parts Chiaro Amaro from Woods Distillery, Ampersand Gin and our Bianco Vermouth.
As always, all of our products are made from mead on Vancouver Island, using 100% British Columbian honey from our own apiary in Fort St. John managed by Paradis Apiaries FSJ ."
