It’s baffling to me that these guys aren’t available Canada wide (yet).\nI Can’t wait until they hit Alberta!\nI made a hot toddy with wildfire and it was delicious.\nForget the baileys and try the coffee whisky for an Irish coffee on Saturday morning (was so good)\nMade an “iced tea” with the island vibe, fresh basil and mint( definitely try this).\nIf you’re a whisky lover like myself this is an experience.\nMy hope is that best coast will be easier to find in the near future and I won’t have to travel to grab more…although I would have no problem doing so.\nThanks for the Best Coast experience guys!", "rating": 5 } ], "slug": "best-coast-distillers-north-saanich-bc", "city_slug": "north-saanich", "county_slug": null, "province_slug": "bc", "province_name_slug": "british-columbia", "country_slug": "ca", "products": { "Rum": [ "First Agricole Rum" ], "Whisky": [ "WildFire", "Best Coast Cold Brew Coffee Whisky" ], "Vodka": [ "Tropic Vibe", "Rogue Wave Vodka" ] }, "keywords": [ "Coastal Experience", "Craft Spirits", "Innovation", "Unique Flavor Profiles" ], "extended_flags": [ "hasOutdoorSeating", "hasWheelchairAccessible", "hasAlcohol" ], "marketing": "Best Coast Distillers crafts spirits that embody the coastal experience, with a focus on innovation and unique flavor profiles.
