Our spirits include Cowichan Gin, Vodka, Copper Gin, Brandy, Stair's Pear Brandy, and Apple Oh de Vie.
Our current fortifieds include Winter Apple and and Mure Oh.
Distillation begins with the fermenting of fruit. For us, that means our cider apples and locally sourced B.C. fruit is perfect for the creation of craft spirits.
Our hand-crafted Mueller still from Germany is made of hand-hammered copper and has been designed to preserve as much of the aroma and flavour of the fruit as possible. The craftsmen at Mueller take months to make each individual still, to ensure that it makes the best quality brandy over a lifetime of use.
The process of distilling releases clear nectar known as ‘Eau de Vie’ or water of life. To make brandy or Calvados the master distiller ages the Eau de Vie for years in carefully selected oak barrels. The process of aging in oak enhances many of the characteristics of the brandy and slowly adds a distinct flavour.
