About Distillerie Mitis

Distillerie Mitis is a distillery in Mont-Joli, in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region. Its Mugo gin is made with mountain pine from the Jardins de Métis, the famous gardens nearby, giving it a fresh, resinous character.

A bottle of Mugo makes a lovely souvenir after a summer visit to the gardens or a road trip toward Gaspésie along the river. At home, try it in a simple gin and tonic to taste the pine. It suits travellers in the Lower St. Lawrence and gin fans who like spirits tied to a specific place.
