A local distillery in Levis has recently become one of the most decorated distilleries in Canada. Lore & Legends won seven medals at the Canadian Artisan Spirits Competition. Their Artemisia Absinthe took home the top prize, praised for its unique flavour profile.

Lore & Legends also secured gold medals for their Amaro and Grande Menthe Boréale liqueurs, while their gins, orange liqueur, and limoncello all received bronze. These award-winning spirits are handcrafted using high-quality ingredients, some even grown on-site.

I recently spoke with Martin Vaillancourt on Breakaway about what goes in to making some of his prize-winning products.

Here is our conversation aired on CBC Radio One on March 13th, 2024.
