Six Botanicals from the Tundra
Ungava takes its name from the Ungava Peninsula at the northern tip of Quebec, where its six botanicals — Nordic juniper, wild rose hips, cloudberry, crowberry, Arctic blend and Labrador tea — are hand-foraged from the tundra, dried, and steeped for five weeks. That long, all-natural steep is what turns the gin its unmistakable golden yellow, no artificial colouring involved. It stands apart on any back bar — browse our wider gin collection, or view the producer on the Ungava Spirits vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Peppermint tea, pine and lemon curd with white flowers. Palate: Sweet summer berries and fig around a spicy juniper core. Finish: Peppermint easing into spearmint with a fading caramel note.
How to Enjoy
Pour it over ice with a grapefruit wedge for the brand's suggested serve, build a golden gin and tonic, or use it in a Martini when you want the Arctic berries and Labrador tea to show through the juniper.
