About this winery

L'Absintherie des Cantons is a family-run microdistillery located in Granby, in the Eastern Townships, and represents the culmination of many years' work. Our products are distilled slowly, carefully and in small batches. We use plants grown here and harvested by hand.

Production notes

Wendigo gin features Quebec sea buckthorn berries. Its name comes from a legend in Amerindian folklore, referring to a forest spirit that possesses men. The spices are macerated for 12 hours before distillation.

Tasting notes

This is a spicy gin, and its complexity is divided between the presence of coriander, iris bergamot, licorice bark, chamomile, rosebud, angelica and cardamom. Juniper is present without being overpowering, and verbena adds a lemony touch.
