Ungava Canadian Premium Gin

Ungava Canadian Premium Gin is a Canadian gin built around the northern landscape of Quebec and the Ungava Peninsula. Its identity comes from six Arctic botanicals: Nordic juniper, wild rose hips, Labrador tea, crowberry, Arctic blend and cloudberry. Rather than presenting a long list of global ingredients, Ungava concentrates on a compact botanical signature that gives the gin its colour, aroma and unmistakably northern character.

The production highlights slow extraction. The botanicals are dried and steeped for an extended period, allowing their flavours and natural colour to infuse the spirit.

Wild rose hips and crowberry add a fruity, lightly tart dimension, while Labrador tea gives the aromatic profile a softer, more enveloping herbal length. In the mouth, the gin is lively and smooth, with a balance of citrus, gentle spice, berry-like acidity and floral freshness. The finish keeps a clean northern brightness, carried by juniper and the more tea-like botanicals.

At 43.1% alcohol, Ungava has enough presence for simple serves, but its distinctive colour and botanical profile are especially expressive in a gin and tonic. A neutral tonic and a grapefruit garnish are a natural pairing: the tonic keeps the serve crisp, while grapefruit extends the citrus character already present in the gin. It can also be enjoyed over ice with soda, where the botanical colour and the fresh Arctic-inspired profile remain the focus of the glass.
