About Cirka Distilleries
Cirka Distilleries is a grain-to-glass distillery near the Lachine Canal in Montreal, founded in 2016. It makes its spirits from the grain up, and is known for Cirka Sauvage, a gin flavoured with boreal botanicals.
The Sauvage gin makes a fresh, local base for a gin and tonic on a summer terrace or a cocktail at home. A bottle is a good gift for someone who enjoys trying Quebec spirits. After a bike ride along the canal, it is a reminder that Montreal also has its own distillers. It suits curious cocktail fans.
