Wild Life White Grapefruit Gin

White grapefruit and makrut lime leaf give this summer 2026 release a direct citrus identity. Wild Life infuses both into its Classic Gin, keeping juniper as the familiar thread beneath the new ingredients. The gin is made in Canmore, Alberta, and bottled at 40% ABV. Rather than adding a syrupy fruit sweetness, the recipe is presented as a bright, tart variation on the distillery's grain-based classic.
