The GOODS from The Liberty Distillery

Vancouver, BC | November 29th, 2015 marks The Liberty Distillery’s 2nd Anniversary and we’re proud to announce the unveiling of Distiller’s Reserve – TRUTH VODKA made from 100% organic BC Oats (Limited Release).

Inspired by our love for clean pure spirits, and a recipe dating back to 1842, we wanted to explore boundaries with oats – a grain believed to be superior (but difficult) for spirit making.

Distilled in small batches, Distiller’s Reserve – TRUTH is triple-distilled using our copper pot still and 16-plate rectification column. We intentionally use only the heart of the ‘hearts’ when making the ‘distiller’s cuts’ for TRUTH. This ensures the highest level of purity while maintaining the delicate oat flavour.

CURIOUS? Come celebrate our 2nd Year Anniversary on Sunday, November 29th!

We invite you to sample a free tasting of Distiller’s Reserve TRUTH VODKA all day from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm in our Cocktail Lounge!

Cheers!

Robert & Lisa Simpson, Founders

Tasting Notes: A full-bodied vodka with delicate aromas of vanilla, nut, and citrus with a long finish. Smooth. Balanced. Distinctive. Available in 750mL bottles – $45.99 (Limited Release).

ABOUT THE LIBERTY DISTILLERY

The Liberty Distillery established in 2010 on BC’s historic Granville Island is a true artisanal distillery.

A family business, the Distillery is the realization of a long-held dream of Liberty Wine Merchants founder Robert Simpson and wife Lisa Simpson.

Authenticity, quality, and heritage are the heart of The Liberty Distillery’s philosophy. “We’re passionate about our craft and are inspired by the exacting art of distillation” shares Lisa Simpson. The Liberty Distillery’s Mission is dedicated to… ‘hand craft the finest innovative and unique spirits from quality BC ingredients using traditional artisan distillation methods that inspire and contribute to the world of spirits’. We distill with one thought…”Make the best spirits we possibly can”.
