Ampersand Distilling Company is a family founded craft distillery located on a five acre farm in the Cowichan Valley. Though trained as engineers, father-son duo Stephen and Jeremy Schacht have used their knowledge of science and traditional distilling techniques to create a hand crafted distillery where they can make hand crafted spirits
Per Se Vodka is the pure expression of the 100% BC-grown wheat we use to make our spirits. The grain is milled, fermented, and distilled, before being diluted with our own spring water to create an award-winning spirit with body, sweetness, and a creamy mouth-feel. This vodka is best enjoyed sipped solo, but in true Ampersand fashion, it works well in your favourite cocktail.
There's a reason people wait all year to get their hands on this limited edition liqueur. We harvest green walnuts at the height of summer, steep them in our pure spirit, and then spice it with lemon peel, cinnamon, and allspice. That gets sweetened with local honey, and creates the perfect tipple for winter.
Ampersand Gin is our flagship product, an award-winning instant classic, that brings together BC-grown wheat with seven cultivated or wild-harvested botanicals and our own spring water
