DISTILLERIE DU ST. LAURENT
Winters are harsh; the northeast wind rips across the estuarine river and rocky headlands, while the smell of smoked fish pervades the air as the boats return to dock.
Distillerie du St. Laurent makes products that are a reflection of the region, its climate and traditions – mixed in with a good deal of innovation and eccentricity!
ST. LAURENT GIN
Distilled in small batches, St. Laurent Gin is an all-natural, hand-crafted gin.
After a steam infusion of exotic spices in a custom-designed gin-basket, laminaria seaweed is macerated in the resulting distillate to extract umami flavours, which form the base notes of this gin.
On the nose, it is like a sea breeze, interspersed with intense herbal and citrus notes, peppery spices and cinnamon.
Pair with a mediterranean-style tonic and any kind of seafood. Try it sprinkled on oysters with a squeeze of lemon!

ST. LAURENT GIN VIEUX
Each month, a tiny portion of St. Laurent Gin is transferred to ex-bourbon casks and aged for more than a year.
The fresh citrus flavours now take on candied orange and lemon notes. Cinnamon aromas from the cassia bark are enhanced and integrate with spicy, vanilla notes from the oak casks.
The finish stays true to St. Laurent's signature marine saltiness and umami flavour that add character and complexity to this beautiful aged gin.
St. Laurent Gin Vieux is a stunning sipping gin that even whisky drinkers love! Enjoy neat, on the rocks or with a splash of premium tonic and a slice of lemon.

ST. LAURENT ACERUM
Acerum, derived from the Latin for maple tree, is on its way to becoming a new Protected Geographical Designation! It must be made solely from Quebec maple sources, fermented, distilled and bottled at a Quebec distillery, and have a minimum of 35% abv.
St. Laurent Acerum showcases the delicate and refined aromas of distilled maple sap, not to be confused with maple liqueur or maple syrup-sweetened rum or whisky. The sole ingredients used are Québec maple syrup (made from maple sap), water and yeasts. It is then aged in both new and used oak barrels for more than a year. More than 25 liters of maple sap are needed to produce a single bottle!
CHARACTERISTICS
Apple and candied pear, coconut, toffee and butterscotch, slightly spicy and tannic wood notes, with a long and creamy finish of maple butter.
