CIRKA DISTILLERIES
In their own words, Cirka Distilleries are inspired by Montréal’s creative energy, cultural diversity and renowned "epicuriosity". A true expression of who they are and where they live, their products reflect Québec’s rich terroir, with high quality grains, pristine water and unique aromatic botanicals from the northern boréal forest
CIRKA GIN SAUVAGE
"Sauvage" means wild in French and this gin is just that! It combines the unique aromatics of Québec’s boréal forest with 30 plus roots, shoots, fruits and flowers to create a beguiling, expressive gin.
For the gin's spirit base, Cirka uses their own Vodka Terroir, which they distil in a custom pot still. Using a combination of maceration and botanical baskets, the result is a unique, balanced and complex gin that can be enjoyed neat or mixed in cocktails.
NOSE:
Pine is present but not overpowering. Floral and fruity notes are balanced harmoniously with rich bergamot, licorice, and cloves.
PALATE:
Creamy and velvety, multiple flavours on the palate suggest elderflower, lavender, sweet orange, cinnamon and fennel seed, with no single botanical taking centre stage.
Robust yet complex, this is a great base for mixing craft cocktails, with different pairings enhancing different aspects of its character.

CIRKA VODKA TERROIR
Cirka's Vodka Terroir starts with premium non-GMO corn grown in Québec. Using water filtered in-house with maple leaves, a single distillation in a 24-foot vodka column helps to retain natural flavours while achieving that rich texture that premium vodka is known for.
NOSE
Butterscotch, caramel and home-baked corn muffins.
PALATE
This is not a neutral vodka. Popcorn, buttered toast and caramel. The finish is long, creamy and wonderfully unctuous. Delicious on its own or in an espresso martini!

CIRKA GIN375
To celebrate Montréal’s 375th anniversary, GIN375 is an hommage to the vibrant city.
Putting a fresh spin on the Old Tom style of gin, GIN375 is made from botanicals sourced from all over Québec.
Fresh cranberry and sour cherry from the Eastern Townships and wild rose petals from the Gaspe region give it its lovely amber colour. Organic spring honey from the Laurentians delicately sweeten it and wild mint, larch and spruce create a spicy, warm finish.
A beautiful sipping gin that is one of a kind.
Note that new label does not make reference to Limited Edition.
NOSE
Fresh and floral. Delicate, elegant and mildly sweet with aromatic honey notes.
PALATE
Balanced with fruity and floral notes. Spring honey complements forestier botanicals. Delicate mint undertones create a spicy, warm finish.
