Still Fired Distilleries in Annapolis Royal, N.S. produces Fundy Gin, a unique spirit, created in two stills: Kirby and Morgan, the first “legal” stills built in Atlantic Canada. Distiller Andrew Cameron adds Bay of Fundy beach stones in the column of the stills along with the dulse. They add salinity, making it taste like a perfect martini (with a fresh ocean breeze aroma) right out of the bottle.

The smooth new western-style gin uses botanicals from all over the world. Juniper berries are sourced from a Croatian family-owned business. The berries offer a beautiful, floral fragrance balanced with cardamom, rosemary, coriander, angelica root, orris root and dulse.
