Beattie’s Distillers in Alliston makes addition to liquor lineup
Beattie’s Distillers in Alliston introduced its latest libation at an open house held June 22.
Distillery owners Ken and Liz Beattie are making history by becoming the first distillery in Canada to make gin from potatoes.
A small batch of strawberry vodka was also sold exclusively at the event.
Guests were able to sample the new products at the cocktail bar and they were also treated to free snacks and other goodies, including mashed potatoes served in martini glasses, topped with cheese, gravy and other mouth-watering fixings.
The gin will be hitting LCBO shelves very soon.
Beatties Distiller’s began selling potato vodka in April 2016, and in the fall of last year they introduced two more products, sweet-potato vodka and an Irish moonshine called Poitin.
