Our first tonic, which conquered the hearts of Quebecers from the moment it was released in 2016, comes straight out of the Saint-Ferréol-les-Neiges region. At the heart of this product is the juicy and acidic sea buckthorn of Léandre Saindon, a Montrealer who decided to settle in the region to work his own land.

Each year, he picks the best berries so that Patrice can blend them with Labrador tea while reminiscing about his many hikes in Charlevoix’s Parc des Grands Jardins, where local distillers also find inspiration for their gins.
