Black's Distillery

Gin

750ml 40% alc./vol.
$50.00

For an honest appreciation of the depth, texture and flavour of our flagship product, we suggest you first do something slightly out of the ordinary: sip it neat. Oh, and sniff it too, so you can try to anticipate the flavours that you’re about to imbibe. Our uncommon blend of botanicals paired with the silky smooth of Red Fife wheat grain delivers an exceptional taste. Prepare for a beautifully balanced wave of floral, herbaceous, peppery and juniper notes with hints of licorice and spice. Then ready yourself to revolutionize your favourite mixed drinks!

Find it in stock at select LCBO stores in Central Ontario.

Heritage Vodka

750ml 40% alc./vol.
$50.00

We chose to produce a vodka that, unlike the mass produced blandness that defines so many other spirits in this category, actually has a definable taste, body and texture. That shows a beginning, middle and end on the taste buds. Whisper soft on the entry, you’ll encounter a subtle if not surprising note of sweet before a punchier edge of pepper simmers on the finish. Believe it – vodka with personality and presence.

White Barley

750ml 43% alc./vol.
$50.00

All Scotch whisky is originally made from Barley, however despite our Scottish heritage, it has to be made in Scotland by law to be called Scotch. If you’re a Scotch lover by nature reserve some time to tune your taste buds into the finer points of this intriguing spirit. Distilled from locally grown barley, this is an all natural, un-oaked small batch statement with no additives. A first whiff of this lightly peated blend offers shades of floral and leather. The taste leads to deeper, earthier tones with a pinch of pepper and cinnamon before a fiery finish eases out over a smooth body.

History

Every spirit tells a story – of that there is never any question in the business of distilling. Yet the narrative for Black’s Distillery extends its roots well beyond the confines of Peterborough County and the rolling hills where David Fife long ago coaxed his treasured grain from the ground. In fact, owner Robert Black’s Scottish heritage links back to the Duhb (Duff) Clan, which actually connects to the town of Fife and the family itself. Take that as coincidence but best accept it as a vital connection. Upon learning of this relationship the Black’s name assumed its rightful place and is emblazoned on every bottle that we produce, day-in and day-out.

RED FIFE WHEAT

His is the name behind Canada’s oldest and most cherished heritage wheat – Red Fife Wheat. David Fife originally produced the grain in the 1840s at his farm a quick horse-and-buggy ride southeast of Peterborough. What David Fife likely didn’t anticipate is that, generations later, his soft, smooth and flavourful grain would reside at the heart of locally crafted artisan gin and vodka. We invite you to raise a glass to his ingenuity and inspiration for producing what we think is the essential ingredient to our signature Black’s taste.

Drink Small.
