About Us · Distillery

From BC wheat to the bottle.

Everything we make starts in a field in Invermere and ends in a bottle in North Vancouver. In between, it's all about flavour.

01 · Grown in BC

Every spirit starts with BC wheat.

All of our spirits are made from BC-grown wheat, farmed in Invermere by our farming partner, Shutter Farms. Knowing exactly where our grain comes from – and the people who grow it – gives us a clean, honest base to build flavour on.

02 · Our approach

Spirits and liqueurs, made our way.

Two kinds of bottle, one idea: let the real ingredient lead.

LiqueursOur liqueurs start with real ingredients – organic citrus peeled by hand, locally sourced nuts, roots and herbs – balanced so the flavour comes first, not the sugar.LimoncelloArancelloAmaroCrema Nocciola

03 · Distilled cold

Our vacuum still keeps it fresh.

Most stills rely on heat. Ours uses a vacuum. Distilling cold preserves the freshest flavours from our botanicals – the bright, delicate notes that heat would cook away.

02Low pressure, low heatOur vacuum still lowers the pressure so the spirit distils at a much lower temperature – nothing gets cooked.
03Bright flavour outThe delicate top notes we'd lose in a hot still are captured, so lemon tastes like fresh lemon.

04 · Developed over time

The Aged Range and our barrels.

Alongside our cold still sits a growing barrel inventory. Spirit rests in cask here in North Vancouver, developing slowly until it's ready – then it becomes a numbered release in our Aged Range.
