On a hiking trip to Pemberton decided to try this place out as had tasted their delicious schnapps at Whistler’s Farmer’s market. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable and was pouring the tastings himself. I also noticed all the awards that they’ve won by the plaques around the distillery. I have to say they make the best tasting Schnapps outside of the black forest!

Yum! The owner, who was there pouring samples, was very knowledgeable, though quiet. We were bummed not to be able to try the plum liqueur, as it was sold out. We took home a bottle of vanilla extract and bitters.

Who knew that the best sipping vodka in the world hails from Pemberton BC! But don’t just take my word for it. They’ve got the international awards to prove it. 2010 Double Gold and Spirit of the Year in the recent World Spirit Awards. The distillery tour is well worth the $ 6 as you get a personal view of where all the potato magic happens. Tyler and Lorien are gracious hosts and are full of boozy knowledge. Oh, and of course there’s a healthy sized tasting post-tour at the bar with your very own Schramm’s glass. The word on the Pemberton street is that Tyler is concocting a small batch of Organic Single Malt Whisky this summer. But unfortunately, we will have to wait a few more years to sample this barrel of local gold. Damn you Oak Casks!
