Distillery - Liquor store Canada

As the region's first micro-distillery, it puts the terroir in the bottle as it draws on local resources to create its spirits. Its flagship product is undoubtedly KM12 gin, which includes dune pepper and balsam fir buds, and a Nordic cucumber version is also available. Then there's 48 Chemin Price gin, fermented from blueberry mash, Lily Liqueur, available in two versions (wintergreen and wild mint, and Labrador tea) and ready-to-drink products.

Housed in its superb riverside premises, this artisanal distillery stands out for its St. Laurent Gin, infused with local hand-harvested kelp (the team also makes a version aged for over a year in old whisky barrels). Other spirits are also produced on site, which can be discovered during the guided tour followed by tastings, or by taking a seat at the bar with some tasty snacks on the side.

It's in an old Anglican church, refurbished for the cause, that four friends have set up an absolutely brilliant artisan distillery. The character of the place has of course been preserved, right down to the graveyard next door. To drink, nectars concocted from local Quebec products, including its flagship product, Les Herbes Folles, a gin made with herbs and wild flowers from the Gaspé Peninsula. The elixirs are not only available on site, but can also be enjoyed indoors or out in front of the church.
