Ungava Spirits: Authentic products from Canada

Ungava Spirits, a leading Canadian manufacturer of high-quality products, has set up its production facilities, the distillery and offices in Cowansville, in Quebec’s beautiful Eastern Townships. As well as the internationally known Ungava Premium Dry Gin, the product range also includes maple liqueur, rum, vodka and vermouth. The spirits are produced in small batches using natural and local ingredients of the highest quality.

Ungava Gin is made from six rare Arctic botanicals from northern Quebec that are hand-harvested, dried and slowly steeped for five weeks for a natural extraction of their complex flavours and colours. Cabot Trail is inspired by Canadian tradition, combining maple and blueberry cream liqueur with maple syrup and blueberries. Quartz Vodka made from Canadian corn is purified by cryogenic treatment at extremely cold temperatures and micro-distilled five times for silky finesse and crystalline transparency. Chic Choc Black Spiced Rum is made of first-class West Indian rum, a blend of selected rums stored for three to seven years. The botanicals come 100% from Quebec – wild herbs from the Chic Choc mountain region on the Gaspésie peninsula. Baril Caché is based on the regional grains of rye, barley, corn and wheat as well as Canadian whiskies matured for at least five years.

At the World Spirits Award, there was gold for Ungava Premium Dry Gin, Cabot Trail Maple and Blueberry Cream and Quartz Vodka, and silver for Rhum épicé CHIC CHOC Spiced Rum and Whisky Baril Caché.
