WHETHER CRAFTING OR CONSUMING, Canadians are no strangers to experimenting with alcohol. And while our skills and appetites for beer and wine are renowned, our reputation for making and sharing bottled spirits remains small – or at least haunted by the spectre of being “screeched in” by Newfoundlanders.
But small-scale distilleries across Canada are gradually dousing that status quo. In search of world-class homegrown spirits to fill the A\J office liquor cabinet (which previously didn’t exist, for the record), we found six artisanal producers from different regions that are crafting compelling (and in some cases quite exotic) alcoholic drinks using locally grown plants.
In May, at the gorgeous Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery in Waterloo, Ontario, we assembled a small tasting panel and tried to take stock of some of the most interesting flavours from sea to sea to sea. The details are a little fuzzy, but what we discovered sure tasted like ingenuity brewing.
