Reviews of Deep Roots Distillery (Winery)

Dee Miguel

Beautiful farm and tasty spirits!

David Gibler

Great location, product and staff. Will spend time with you explaining it all to you. A worthy stop. The glassware and decanter selection are worth the drive alone.

Marie-Claude Brisson

Knowledge about the product, try the maple.

Julie GEORGER

(Translated) Very nice experience, very nice owner and takes the time to explain where his idea came from and the way of his alcohol. Very welcoming and very good alcohol. We do not regret the detour! (Original) Très belle expérience, propriétaire très gentil et prend le temps d’expliquer d’où est venu son idée et la manière de son alcool. Très accueillant et alcool très bon. On ne regrette pas le détour !

We got to see the orchards and learn about apple growing, and see the orchard's evolution from u-pick to current day distillery production. With tasty results! Thanks for the tour.

If you get the chance to stop into this spot, you will be greeted with friendly, smiling faces. We met Mike's sister, who was a wealth of knowledge and we had fun learning how their distillery works. You never know what you might find on the shelves to accompaniment their usual stock. Right now, there is a small batch Gin, that is only available while supplies last! Iced apple is another small batch. One of the best things is knowing that they will take local "seconds" and make special brews from things that would normally get tossed! This is definitely a place to stop and see...oh, and you can also pick apples too.

A genuine and unique tasting experience. The owner, Mike, spent considerable time conversing with us about how he grew an idea into the little business gem it is today. The products are diverse and of high quality. A great place to stop near Charlottetown. Highly recommended.

I love good spirits so when I spotted the open sign at Deep Roots I decided to drop in and try them out. As a local I'd seen the products on the shelf but never bothered to give them a try, preferring the comfort of the brand's I'd gotten used to. That was a mistake and I'm glad to have given them a chance. The owner is knowledgeable about his products and can describe very well the ingredients used and main ideas behind his products. I don't mean in marketing speak either. Ask about the products and you're going to get honesty that reflects a love for the craft of making fine spirits and liqueur on return. When in the shop you can order a sample of all the varieties for a low nominal fee or you may try up to two spirits at no cost. I decided to try them all. You can really divide the products up into two categories, spirits (distilled over 80 proof) and liqueurs (distilled then blended with flavorings to around 30-50 proof). The spirits are remarkably distinct from each other, and smooth with no off flavours. You get a very good feel for their base ingredients from taste alone. They offer an Apple Brandy that tastes premium in every way, from an oak nose to an almost spice and caramel body with a smooth dry finish I didn't think I was going to find anything in the lineup to top it. That is until I tried the Honey Spirit, which was next in the lineup and I'm happy to say the drink I'm sipping during this review. It has a nose that is going to remind you of tequila, but much more mild. The whole experience of this spirit is mild. It has a toasty body and just a hint of sweetness to finish. It's easy to drink neat or on ice and I bet it blends away into a cocktail like a dream. The Island Tide was the last spirit I sampled before the liqueurs. It's a classic distilled cane sugar spirit with an unmistakable hint of moonshine taste to it. It'll go easy as a base in any cocktail or as a simple pairing with 7up or fruit juice. Rather than going one by one through the other products let me just say that all the liqueurs would make excellent pairings with desserts or additions to a cocktail, with the Haskap Camerise being a stand out for an aperitif and the Iced Apple being a standout for desserts. Islanders we've got a real gem here, if you're looking a quality drink this summer when we're all on our staycations I can't say enough good things about the lineup from this distillery.

Swung by the Deep Roots Distillery last weekend while home in PEI. Purchased a sweet set of wooden coasters, and an absolute delicious bottle of Maple Liqueur. Will definitely be back.
