Les Subversifs Distillery

Our distillery is a temple. Our dogmas are rooted in the quality of ourdistillation. Our order is to offer subversive spirits. We have no god nor master. We are Les Subversifs and our only belief is in superior quality liqueurs, proudly made in Québec.Ten years ago, at the beginning of our adventure, we were the first microdistillery in Quebec, and gin began to revive in the minds of young people.

We wanted to create a sweet recipe in the mouth, but with character, we wanted to get away from the old gins and their taste too pronounced ofgenevrier.We consulted Patrice Fortier, from the Kamouraska Plant Society, to help us find a subversive ingredient for a Gin and without hesitation he suggested us parsnip, because of his taste root / vegetable spice with anatural sugar. In addition, parsnips are found and grown everywhere in Quebec. We try to use, whenever possible local ingredients and fresh herbs, wea void using aromas or noodles to denaturalize the true taste in our products.

Working in a batch of small quantities, with a longer distillation time, allows our still to extract quality alcohols.For the creation of new alcohols, we draw our ideas from the traditions or the local culture. Le Reduit is something that was done in family sugarshacks and with our new product, mint cream, we did not invent anything,but we reinvent it using fresh and organic ingredients grown in Quebec.The mint cream, part of Quebec’s imaginary, had been left aside becauseof its chemical taste, but the true natural taste of mint will seduce more than one.
