British Columbia’s premier micro-distillery festival held recently – with two sold out public events, fourteen unique vendors to the previous year and a pop-up Legacy Liquor Store added, BC Distilled 2015 proved that the micro-distillery industry in British Columbia is here to stay.
Attendees of BC Distilled were invited to choose their favourite vodka, gin and other spirit from twenty-two small-batch distilleries who showcased over seventy different locally made products at the event. There were eleven winners in the three categories with The Dubh Glas Distillery from Oliver producing Noteworthy Gin being voted as the Favourite Gin amongst a total of twenty-three gins being showcased. An incredible achievement considering the number of quality spirits being featured at the event.
Favourite Gin:
1st Place: Noteworthy Gin by Dubh Glas
2nd Place: Unruly Gin by Wayward Distillation House
3rd Place (three-way tie): Long Table London Dry, Gillespie’s Sin Gin, and Ampersand Distilling Co. Gin
“A humbling experience to be voted the Favourite Gin at BC Distilled considering being compared to so many quality spirits that are being produced in BC right now” said Grant Stevely, Noteworthy Distiller.
