FIRST APPEARANCE FROM THIS DISTILLERY FOR SMWS CANADA

There was plenty going on here with aromas of blackberry citrus cranberry jam, cloves, tobacco and high cocoa-content chocolate next to wood glue and staves dipped in maple syrup. On the palate we took a large bite of a cherry cola cupcake and washed it down with an Old Fashioned cocktail garnished with orange zest and two cocktail cherries.

After reduction we stewed rhubarb in red wine, found oak shavings in our wild cherry fruit tea and had a slice of blackcurrant, lime and coconut cheesecake. This was mouthcoating like a mango lassi with yogurt, cardamom, lime and honey – very invigorating and so refreshing!
