Distillation and production
Production method
The main expressions are made from selected raw materials (for example Canadian corn for the Original, English wheat for Aurora, Blue Weber agave for Onyx). The distillates undergo multiple distillation stages (e.g., Original four times; Aurora five times) and a series of filtrations (commonly seven passes), with the last three filtrations performed through layers of Herkimer crystals as the final filtration step. The water used for cutting comes from Newfoundland springs/sources.
Distillation
Original: distilled four times; Aurora: distilled five times. All expressions undergo multiple filtration stages (typically seven passes), with the final three filtrations carried out through Herkimer crystals.
Producer history Crystal Head

The iconic bottle was designed by John Alexander and is produced in Europe by a specialized glassmaker. The spirit is produced in St. John's (Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada) at facilities with bottling capacity for partner brands.
