One we’ve been working on for a while, our Terra Herbal Liqueur is now available. Born from the union of vine, earth and herb, this liqueur begins with carefully distilled grapes and is infused with a myriad of aromatic botanicals, conifer tips, flowers and honey.

A harmonious balance of fruit, soft florals and gentle spice.

Serve slightly chilled to appreciate its full bouquet, sip neat as a digestif, or add depth to modern cocktails.

Rooted in the fields of British Columbia 🌾

We distill our rye, wheat, and barley individually to capture each grain’s true character. After aging in oak barrels, they come together at the end—creating a whisky with balance, depth, and complexity.

Non-chill filtered. Natural colour.
Just whisky, the way it should be.

Single and ready to mingle, our Canadian Single Malt Whisky is an homage to the west coast. 🌊 🌲

Bold and striking, yet warm and inviting, our Canadian Single Malt is bourbon barrel aged drawing notes of pear, milk chocolate and vanilla with whiffs of honey on the nose.
