Holocene Distilling Project

Visited Holocene Distilling Project this morning. Enjoyed our tour and tasting. It was difficult to limit ourselves to 4 bottles because we enjoyed every sample. We were very impressed with the use of local ingredients, the sustainable thinking behind their production system and their use of “waste” materials like juiced lemons as flavouring ingredients. Check out their limited edition lost and found products too - currently a strawberry vanilla vodka - as further evidence of their sustainability approach in practice.

I brought this bottle back from Victoria, but it feels like I brought back something much bigger — the scent of the island itself.

I've seen their drinks being sold at various Farmers markets at Duncan and in Esquimalt. All I can say, is how awesome and tasty their products are. First, it's very unique, as they use a blend of herbs and/or teas, along with other ingredients to produce their drinks. My personal favourites are the Sweet tease and the Drink pink. At $29 per bottle, it's a reasonable price. Plus the lid has an eco-friendly seed pouch that you can plant in your own yard for flowers. That's a bonus! I have yet to visit their place, but I am already in love with their products. I give the Holocene Distillery Project 2 thumbs up!

Had the great pleasure of meeting Dorian (Owner) of Holocene which included an invited out to the distillery for a tour and tasting. This was by far one of the most enjoyable and informative experiences in some time. The entire vibe of Holocene Distilling Project is best described as a sophisticated relaxed earthy island experience. The tasting was made even more enjoyable with the added context and information that Dorian provided as to how each product was created. This is a Cowichan Valley must do! I am sure that you will go home with more than one bottle of Holocene fine spirts.

My favourite distillery! Their creative products, attention to detail, and sustainability initiatives are just a few things I love about them! Highly recommend the Honey I’m Home gin with lemonade. It was my summer go to!… And the Lady Grey with Whiskey! 💯 If I could give them more stars I would!! ⭐️x100

I recently tried their liqueur at the Eagle Ridge market......I am in love with them! Picked up 2 & strongly advised my daughter to get me 1 for xmas! Love the wild flower seeds on the top of the bottle!

Had a great tasting and tour led by Jared. The products are amazing . Recommend them highly

We had the pleasure of tasting your gins at the BC gin festival. They were smooth, unique and delicious.
