Nestled in Nova Scotia, the Undisputed Smooth Spirit Company's Below The Salt Distillery offers an ultra-small-batch experience that combines medieval inspiration with modern craftsmanship. Named after the historical seating arrangement where 'below the salt' signified the workers who fueled societies from behind the scenes, the distillery honors those unsung laborers on land and sea. With traditional techniques and a dedication to using only the finest ingredients, their products are inspired by French family-run distilling houses, yet evoke Nova Scotian traditions. Sip on their lemons-spruce tip Highland Tears Gin, relish the fiery Rhumb Line aged with solera techniques, or enjoy the boilermaker-inspired spirit drinks that bring rum and IPA together.

The Boilermaker IPA+rum creation was very unique and very tasty. Thanks to Vicki for walking us through the history of each spirit during our tasting and for being so very kind and personable; you really made our experience one to remember!",
