Product Description
In the 32 years since St. George Spirits was founded, we have grown from a dedicated Eau de Vie distillery into a diverse operation that makes a range of craft spirits. Then: a bare-bones production facility with tasting tables jerry-rigged on sawhorses. Now: a 65,000-square-foot hangar with a spectacular tasting room, laboratory, and a lineup of the most beautiful pot stills in the industry. We’ve grown slowly over the years, hiring one person at a time, adding one copper still at a time. We don’t have a marketing team or an advertising budget. What we do have are passion, ideas, and access to superlative raw materials. The craft distillation movement has grown with us over the last three decades, and we’ve been joined by hundreds of new distilleries across the country. As the landscape has changed, there’s been a lot of talk about established spirits brands vs. newcomers. Big brands vs. small brands. The way we see it, it’s not that small or big is better. It’s not that new or old is better. Better is better. And with that in mind, we have dedicated ourselves to making the best spirits we can. We’re passionate about distillation in all its forms, but we don’t release a spirit unless we feel we have something new and valid to contribute to the conversation. We want to be able to pick our spirits out of a lineup.
Crystal clear in colour. Pine (juniper) and black pepper corns with fennel, aniseed, cardamom and black liquorice. There’s a lot going on as reflects the use of botanicals in the recipe. Spicy, herbaceous and well balanced with juniper just ahead and other botanicals such as orange, coriander and fennel just leading the pack. There’s a hint of black liquorice although it’s not a botanical used. Slightly bitter herbal, rooty finish.
