Ungava Canadian Premium Gin 70cl, 43.1% ABV

Product Information

It’s an intriguing gin with a complex flavor profile that at times oscillates between opaque and traditional. Micro-distilled in small batch copper-pot stills, each Empress 1908 Gin is handcrafted using an array of carefully selected botanicals. The wild card that is taken can be used as the player wishes - it can be put down as part of the same or another meld, or they may risk keeping it in their hand for later use. If the player has drawn the top card from the discard pile at the start of the turn he may not discard that card until his next turn (also, that wouldn't make any sense at all).

It’s also worth flagging that – even those who were at the tarter end of their descriptions – we all agreed that this was extremely smooth and drinkable.

A player who has already laid down a set or run may take a wild card from the table if they hold the real card that it represents. From cloudberries to wild rosehips (the source of its colour) to Labrador tea, the botanicals are as Canadian as they come.Made in British Columbia, Canada, Queensborough Gin is based off of the traditional London Dry recipe. There’s a tangy earthiness that billows here underneath the surface buoyed by a slight touch of green tea leaves, flower imbued tea blend and tart berry.

Now, with the rise of artisanal, craft-oriented distilleries, Canadian gin has evolved into a unique and great-tasting spirit.

The combination of creative ingredients and bathtub-gin-style-infusion culminates in a gin that will have both supporters and detractors among contemporary and classic gin enthusiasts. Quite surprising as I found those notes to be very understate neat, but quite interesting that a complex drink like the Negroni would bring them out. Legend Distilling is located in beautiful Naramata, British Columbia, just minutes away from Penticton — Naramata is actually the region with the densest population of wineries in the Okanagan! One of this gin’s distinguishing features is its odd (and potentially repulsive) colour that, by the admission of the president of the company himself, resembles“vitamin enriched urine”.
