Rye comes from Scotland, Ontario and water from Springwater, Ontario, and the parent says 100 percent of ingredients are sourced from Canadian farms. Gin botanicals such as juniper, cinnamon, coriander, cubeb pepper and star anise are not grown commercially in Canada, whisky is aged in oak barrels of unstated origin, and glass and closures were not found, so the split is an estimate. The web store runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform.
