Black Fox Haskap Gin is a Canadian flavoured gin from Black Fox Farm & Distillery in Saskatchewan. Bottled at 40% ABV, it brings together the distillery's juniper-led gin with haskap, a deep blue-purple berry also known as honeysuckle berry. The fruit is hand harvested, placing a northern berry at the centre of a gin made with a distinctly prairie sense of place. Its character is further shaped by gentian, black tea leaves and Black Fox honey, ingredients that move the profile away from a simple sweet berry style.

Fruity · Herbal · Earthy

Haskap gives the gin a dark-fruit direction: tart, vinous and gently tangy rather than confectionery. Juniper keeps the aromatic frame recognisably gin-like, while gentian contributes a measured bitter root note. Black tea brings a dry, leafy depth, and honey softens the edges without displacing the fruit. This combination creates a layered profile in which berry brightness, botanical bitterness and a restrained sweetness remain in dialogue.

On the nose, haskap leads with notes reminiscent of wild berries and dark fruit, followed by juniper and the dry lift of tea.

The palate develops the berry flavour with a fresh acidity, then settles into herbal and earthy tones from gentian and tea. Honey adds a rounded touch to the mid-palate. The finish is fruit-forward but not syrupy, with a clean bitter-tea thread that extends the flavour after the berry notes have receded.

Serve Black Fox Haskap Gin in a generously iced balloon glass with a clean tonic, allowing the berry and tea notes room to show. A small lemon peel can brighten the fruit without covering it. It also works in a bramble-inspired long drink, where its tart berry character can replace or complement a berry liqueur, and in a simple gin sour when a more concentrated, less carbonated serve is wanted.
