About La Société Secrète

La Société Secrète is a small distillery in Percé, set in an old Anglican church at Cap-d'Espoir on the Gaspé coast. It makes Les Herbes Folles gin, a spirit that draws on the character of the Gaspésie region. The church setting gives the distillery a memorable sense of place.

La Société Secrète suits gin fans and travellers touring the Gaspé Peninsula in summer. It makes a natural stop on the road around the peninsula, not far from Percé Rock. Mix Les Herbes Folles into a simple gin and tonic, and bring a bottle home as a reminder of the trip.
