Port Williams, N.S. – Barrelling Tide Distillery won 10 medals in the Canadian Artisan Spirit Competition, including three gold, and Best in Class for their Raspberry Liqueur. Fifty-four distilleries across Canada participated in this year’s awards.
The Canadian Artisan Spirit Competition is Canada’s only national spirit competition reserved exclusively for micro-distilleries. Each spirit goes through a blind tasting panel that is made up of eight judges from across the country.
“We are honoured, and very proud to have won 10 medals in the 2018 Canadian Artisan Spirit Competition,” said Russ and Colleen Murphy, owners of Barrelling Tide Distillery. “Since opening our distillery in the spring of 2016, this recognition validates our commitment to the quality products we produce.”
Opened in 2016, Barrelling Tide has now produced a product line of over 15 spirits and liqueurs. Russ and Colleen saw the opportunity to open the distillery in Port Williams when they moved back home to Nova Scotia. They pride themselves on their high-quality products and are thrilled to share their awards with the community.
