This book takes a look at the Distillaries of Vancouver Island - twenty one in total!
Why I Love It
A change in the British Columbia provincial liquor laws in 2013 made small-batch distilling a viable business. This alternative to high-volume, mass-market liquor focuses on local ingredients and distinctive flavours. The Distillaries of Vancouver Island looks at twenty-one different distillaries.
One of my favourites is the honey liquer from Wayward Distilliaries.
The Details
- A Book About The Distillaries of Vancouver Island features 21 craft and artisan distilleries.
- From relative veterans like Merridale and Sheringham, to the newest stills on the block, you'll meet a group of entrepreneurs unbound by traditional liquor-making rules who are creating vodkas, gins, whiskeys, and liqueurs with their own unique characteristics, using a wide range of grains, fruit, botanicals, peat smoke, seaweed, and spices.
- With an introduction on the history of spirit making and the process of distilling, a glossary of common distilling terms, cocktail recipes inspired by each distillery's products, and a map to help you organize your ideal tasting tour, Vancouver Island's Spirits has everything you need to jump into the region's burgeoning craft-spirits scene.
