Just a quick note to let you all know what is new and exciting at Okanagan Spirits. The summer is fast approaching and we are looking forward to a busy season with a few new products.
However, the first order of the day is to tell you about some exciting awards that we have won at the recent World Spirits Competition in Klagenfurt, Austria. 11 more medals (Five Gold and Six Silver) to add to our collection of over 40, won in the last 4 years. More importantly we have been recognized as a Master Class Distillery by the same awards committee which is a fantastic effort from our Craft Distillery. Just goes to show that fruit grown in BC is ranked amongst the best in the world. As you can imagine, we are very pleased with this recognition. (The only one in Canada)
Secondly, we have made a promotional video that showcases our Craft Distillery and our operations. If you have never visited Okanagan Spirits, this is a great opportunity to see all the hard labour involved. You can view this 5 minute video on the home page of our website or check out www.youtube.com and search for Okanagan Spirits. Let us know what you thought.
New Products for 2010. We have two new liqueurs to tell you about. A sour Cherry and a wild Huckleberry liqueur. (Both GOLD medal winners)
The Cherry liqueur is made with locally sourced sour cherries and if current sales continue, it could become our most popular liqueur. Not sickly sweet like many liqueurs but with a true emphasis on the Sour Cherry taste. Its fantastic.
Delicious Wild Huckleberries sourced from Grand Forks British Columbia, are used to make this liqueur. With so much fruit required for a small return in liqueur, you will need to act fast to secure yourself a bottle of this award winner.
Both of these liqueurs are great on their own, over ice-cream, drizzled over a cheese cake or mixed in a cocktail. The applications are endless.
Very soon we will be notifying you of an exciting new Vodka and Whiskey projects that we are currently undertaking. We will have more details on these two products very soon. The vodka should be released later this year, but you will have to wait a little longer on the Whiskey (Unless of course you want to buy a barrel)
Finally. We have created a testimonial page on our website for comments from guests who have visited our distillery. If you have toured our distillery and enjoyed the experience, let us know and we will post your comments on-line. It is also a great way to give us feedback if we need to improve in any areas. www.okanaganspirits.com/testimonials.php
If you are planning on visiting the distillery this year, we look forward to seeing you, and if the Okanagan is not on your list of travels, enjoy the summer and look out for a few Okanagan Spirits products in a local liquor store near you.
