Arsenal Distillery
For me, Acerum is more than a spirit — it's an idea that reflects who I am. It is the meeting of Quebec tradition and modern expertise, between the maple forest and the precision of a still.
– Louis-Vincent Gagnon, distiller
Located in a former munitions factory in the heart of Quebec, Distillerie Arsenal & Co. draws its inspiration from travel and adventure. Founded by four travelers, it creates bold spirits that combine industrial heritage, international horizons, and refined artisanal know-how. Each bottle reflects this quest for new horizons while valuing local raw materials and distillation techniques, embodying a spirit of exploration that resonates with the maple spirits sector.
The distillery's philosophy is built around three pillars: the quality of ingredients sourced from the Quebec terroir, innovation in aromatic profiles, and an immersive experience for visitors. The place itself — a transformed historic building — becomes a setting where industrial past converses with modernity, craftsmanship, and the cocktail spirit.
St.Laurent Acerum 3 years
The St. Laurent Acerum is a noble eau-de-vie that highlights the delicate aromas of distilled maple sap. Fermented only from Quebec maple syrup, water, and yeast, the wort is distilled twice in a copper still, without any added sweetener or flavor. The eau-de-vie is then aged for over a year in new and used oak barrels. It takes more than 25 liters of sap to obtain a single bottle.
The profile is fruity and airy: aromas of apple and candied pear, notes of coconut bark, toffee and butterscotch, lightly tannic woody touches, and a long creamy finish evoking maple butter.
