our gin

Hand made in small batches with our gleaming copper pot still on Vancouver Island.
Victoria Gin is Canada’s first premium gin.

Vic Gin balances the characteristic evergreen flavour of juniper with notes of citrus, floral, and spice.  Each numbered batch is lovingly made by hand and only the middle part of each run, the “hearts”, is saved for bottling.  The result is an intensely flavored spirit that is as full-bodied and complex as a fine single-malt whisky.

“One very fine gin, impressively balanced and assertively flavoured.”
— Globe & Mail, May 2009

“Every respectable liquor-fancying Canadian should own a bottle of Victoria Gin.”
— National Post, May 2009

“A knockout in every way.”
— Vancouver Magazine, Sept 2009 Best of Food & Drink

“Really excellent stuff: peppery, aromatic… a long and spicy finish.”
— Nuvo Magazine, Winter 2009

The bottle’s shape recalls gin’s reputation as a medicinal spirit.  It features Queen Victoria in her radiant youth, an image that embodies our fresh approach to tradition.

Victoria Gin is gluten-free and batches #77 and beyond are certified Kosher by BC Kosher.
