      "text": "Absolutely amazing small batch whisky, I’ve had the pleasure of sampling 4 different styles from this distillery while visiting the west(best) coast island and I can honestly say it’s some of the smoothest, easy drinking whiskey I’ve had.\nWildfire is my favourite so far, smooth and delicious with a mellow finish, perfectly rounded wisps of vanilla and cinnamon without any bitterness. They even support local firefighters with the sales !\nI’m excited about what this distillery has coming in the future. 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!",
