Distillation and production
Production method
Produced in small batches with hand‑harvested Arctic botanicals that are dried and subjected to prolonged maceration to extract natural flavours and colour.
Distillation
Dried botanicals macerated for five weeks, followed by distillation in small batches (process described as 'small-batch').
Ageing
The core expression is not aged; a 'Barrel Aged' version aged in oak barrels is also available.
Producer history Ungava
The Ungava brand was born within the Domaines Pinnacle range and established itself as a premium gin inspired by the plants of northern Québec. Brand-related activities and spirit assets were acquired by Corby Spirit and Wine Limited in 2016; today the brand appears on the institutional portals of the Pernod Ricard group.
Production philosophy
Emphasize natural ingredients and a connection to the boreal territory: rare botanicals from northern Québec hand‑harvested, natural extraction of flavours and small‑batch production to preserve the product's identity.
Territory
Northern Québec for the botanicals; production facility and offices in Cowansville, Eastern Townships, Québec (Canada).
Awards and recognitions
World Spirits Award – gold medals (reported as winner in multiple editions; official images and citations show recognitions for 2016, 2018 and 2020)
