Yyo Tequila was founded by Jon Bullinger, who discovered a family-run farm in the Highlands of Arandas, Jalisco the birthplace of the famed Mexican spirit. It was there, on the red clay soil that produces the finest blue agaves, that his entry into the world of tequila would begin. His quest for the perfect balance of pepper, sweetness, and spice would lead him through countless hours of testing, tasting, and assessing. Yyo Tequila is a product of the highest quality ingredients and a refined distilling process. Only fully-matured agaves from a single estate are used, ones that have never seen any pesticides or chemicals. They are then roasted for 72 hours in brick ovens as tradition dictates bringing out the flavors. The quest for perfection requires some drastic measures, which is why Spanish classical music is played to the pulp during the 200 hours of fermentation. The next step is double distillation in copper-pot stills, resulting in a crisp and clean spirit that is a smooth sipper and versatile mixer at the same time. Handcrafted in small batches, Yyo Tequila Silver is made at the Vivanco family farm from 100% blue agaves and is bottled at 80 proof. The family has 4 generations of tequila-making behind them, ensuring that the resulting spirit is of the highest quality.

Maker Notes

Following in the footsteps of our celebrated Empress 1908 Indigo Gin, Empress 1908’s Elderflower Rose expression pays homage to our home city of Victoria, British Columbia. Lovingly referred to as the ‘City of Gardens’, Victoria’s flowers bloom nearly year-round, offering plenty of inspiration for our distillers. Empress Elderflower Rose Gin is handcrafted in copper pot stills and features a bright floral bouquet of nine unique premium botanicals. Distinguished by its surprisingly understated floral palate complemented by citrus and spice notes and a hint of sweetness, Empress Elderflower Rose Gin brings a taste of our home to your next cocktail creation.

Vibrant red rose petals and black carrot imbue Empress Elderflower Rose Gin with its jewel-toned hue. Inspired by the multicoloured blossoms that bring our hometown to life each year, the spirits all-natural pigmentation effortlessly elevates the presentation of any cocktail creation. No artificial colours or stabilizers are used, so while the flavour will last forever, the unique ruby colour will fade over time. Fading is accelerated by exposure to sunlight, so we recommend that you experience each bottle within a year of purchase and store it in a cool, dark place. After all, a gin this beautiful is meant to be enjoyed at its best.

Empress Elderflower Rose Gin marries nine vibrant botanical elements to create its one-of-a-kind flavour palate. In addition to juniper berries, you will taste the gentle sweetness of elderflower, a bright burst of orange and a touch of floral rose and lavender. The gin’s colour is all-natural, from the addition of red rose petals and black carrot.

The Kilchoman whisky distillery has released a new limited edition single malt that has been finished for 9 months in mezcal casks sourced from Oaxaca, Mexico. This Royal Mile Whisky exclusive is the first mezcal cask whisky released by Kilchoman and has garnered attention among whisky enthusiasts. Despite being produced in Oaxaca, mezcal is also made in other regions of Mexico such as Durango, Guerrero, San Luis Potosi, Zacatecas, and Puebla. However, the use of the term "mezcal" is regulated by the Norma Oficial Mexicana (NOM) and certification can be costly, leading some producers to use alternative terms like "agave spirits" or "destilados de agave". While some may perceive these alternative labels as inferior, many of the best examples of mezcal come from small-scale producers who cannot afford certification and who believe that "mezcal" is a way of life and tradition rather than a state-controlled designation.

Its complex nose exhibits preserved lemon, smoked baked apples, green bell peppers, toffee, and honey, while the palate delivers tangy notes of lime, apple, syrupy pineapple, and chilli pepper heat. The finish is medium to long in length with peat smoke and lingering pineapple sweetness. While the whisky loses some of its definition when diluted, it remains a top-notch representation of the unique interplay between mezcal casks and Kilchoman's signature peated Islay whisky.

THE DEACON

In Scots, a “Deacon” is an adept and proficient master tradesman. The expert distillers behind our Scotch fit the name perfectly: The Deacon is an homage to master craftspeople, whatever their trade may be.

THE DRAM

THE DEACON blend is a masterful blend of both smoky Speyside and peaty Islay malt whiskies, making it a complex, rich, and smoky dram. In our blend, the single malts from Islay have a characteristic peaty smoke flavour, while the single malts from the mainland have a bonfire-like smoke character. A nose of charred orange, sweet malty biscuits and woodsmoke gives way to juicy orange, echoing the nose, on the palate, delicate spice, and tangy peat. The finish is both sweet and smoky, long, and smooth.

THE VESSEL

Traditional copper pot stills used in our distillation process lend their iconic shine to The Deacon’s stunning bottle, which looks like nothing else on the shelf or back bar, covered in an ornate pattern and stamped with our iconic mascot.
