Do you offer shipping?
Yes, we ship across Canada. Shipping rates vary by location, and the most up-to-date shipping costs will be applied at checkout.
Do your spirits contain gluten?
No. Although many of our spirits are wheat-based, the distillation process removes gluten. We do not add any gluten-containing ingredients back during production.
Are your products available at the LCBO?
Our Patio Lanterns Vodka and London Calling Dry Gin are available at select LCBO locations in the Durham Region. Our full range of spirits are available exclusively at our retail store.
Do you offer tastings?
While we don’t have a bar or offer traditional, ticketed sit-down tastings, we do provide complimentary tastings. Our staff will assist you in choosing the spirit that best suits your taste and offer you a small sample before you make a purchase.If you’re looking for an immersive cocktail experience, check out our cocktail classes.
Do you offer distillery tours?
Currently, we do not offer distillery tours. As a small craft producer, our production and warehouse space is in constant use, and for safety reasons, we are unable to accommodate visitors in this area. However, we have an unplugged still in our retail store and are happy to explain how our products are made and distilled when you visit.
Do you have any recommended cocktail recipes for your spirits ?
Yes! We have created a database of our favorite cocktail recipes featuring our masterfully crafted spirits. Visit our cocktail recipe page for more info.
