Vancouver Distillery Private Tour and Tasting

At Mad Lab they pride themselves on being as hands on as possible during the whole process. From equipment design, production technique, to packaging and quality control, they are aware of how everything is progressing from grain to glass. Brewing with 100% BC grown malted barley, the mash is fermented with a continuous yeast culture, similar to using a sourdough technique from baking. Allowing for consistent and unique flavors, with a large, healthy culture that they are happy to call their own. DISTILLATION Based on a decade of experience, the still that was decided on was a direct-fire pot still with a thumper. An unusual design to find in a commercial distillery, but allows for maximum flavor control while still allowing for the necessary chemical purity required for a premium craft spirit. The direct flame on the boiler produces a rich, toasty flavor that enhances the overall taste and smoothness of our finished product.
