Gin, vodka, rum, and tequila may not commonly be
enjoyed on their own, but with the consumption of
premium spirits on the rise in canada, that seems to be
changing. but what makes a spirit achieve “top-shelf”
status anyway? there are no strict standards or bench-
marks, but premium spirits should be sippable, made
from quality ingredients, and full of flavour. these spirits
aren’t meant to be thrown down your throat; they’re
silky and bold and they stand alone. (oh, and premium
doesn’t have to mean unaffordable.)
