Review #50 - Citrus Off!01 Jul 202000:13:35

After doing the "Spirit of the Day" with Gillespie's Fine Spirits Lemoncello, I had a call to tackle more limoncellos in BC. I did a tasting way back in the beginning (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0t5CiuNfEc) but it was time for an update. So I did for the first weekly tasting that I have done in some time. Start by tackling some new buys, Moonshine Spirits Citrus Gin, Arbutus Distillery Limoncello, Tofino Distillery Limoncello along with some old favorites in Wood's Limoncello and the underrated Legend Distilling Manitou.

Review #49 - Lumette! and Sparkmouth Tonic03 Jun 202000:13:52

I tackle non alcoholic ingredients this week showcasing Lumette! non alcohol distillate and Phillip's Sparkmouth tonics. Pairing these two for a tasty non alcoholic alternative is perfect, the Lumette! adds complexity and the tonic gives body and texture. The big thing when you use these product is to understand what they are and adapt your style for them.

Episode #29 - Jessica Schacht of Ampersand Distilling 20 Aug 202000:19:35

Since then, she and Jeremy along with the whole family have created a loyal following with their products across the island and beyond.

Episode #17 - Josh McLafferty from Monashee Spirits 14 May 202000:29:51

I have seen and chatted to Josh at trade tastings etc. but never got to the crux of his passion and I am really glad I did. This is a really deep dive, figuratively speaking into his background into his passion and WHY; which is so important in this game. Great hyperlocal distillery, amazing cocktail bar and a defined direction on how they do everything.

Review #45 - Kir Royale Off06 May 202000:06:39

With special guest this week, my lovely wife Jillian; we tackle Kir Royales. After a comment on a post earlier this week, I decided it was a good time to do a cassis Kir Royale off featuring Odd Society Spirits, Rathjen Cellars, Okanagan Spirits and Elephant Island and mixed with Unsworth Winery Charme de Lile. Between us, we both liked completely different ends to the spectrum.

Review #44 - Schnapps29 Apr 202000:13:37

And more importantly, Elder Bros Farms Whack-a-Vole Schnapps; now usually I don't do a single distillery tasting as I like to get a spread but from my knowledge, these are the only schnapps in the province and they are fantastic. Get away from peppermint schnapps you would have had in a shot at the club growing up, these are authentic European schnapps made by a Hungarian family in Wycliffe.

Episode #15 - Tyler Dyck of Okanagan Spirits 23 Apr 202000:30:39

In this episode, we delve into the impact of the pandemic on the craft spirits industry in BC with Tyler Dyck, co-owner of Okanagan Spirits and the head of the Craft Distiller's Guild, the lobbyist to the government for the industry. Interesting take as many distilleries are solely making sanitizer for from line workers, but the issues before Covid-19 are still being discussed and pushed through.

Review #42 - Whisky Part 315 Apr 202000:14:57

With quarantine shrinking the stocks in the local liquor stores and some out of the way distilleries not shipping everywhere quite yet, I have had a hard time building out the big episodes every week. This week I tackled brand new whiskies from Odd Society, Liberty Distilleries and DeVine Spirits. Great selection of things I have never tasted, love the anticipation.
