Seaside Gin

Vancouver Island, Canada

"The West Coast in a Bottle": a gin with a deliciously complex yet impeccably balanced botanical profile, including locally-sourced winged kelp.

Pairings

• aperitif: Seaside Gin's coastal botanicals bridge the Pacific oyster; a BC craft gin for a BC tidal flat pairing
• casual: The Seaside Gin's coastal botanical character — sea kelp, maritime botanicals, citrus — resonates directly with the oceanic sweetness of Dungeness crab; drawn butter amplifies the gin's natural richness.
• aperitif: Castelvetrano olive's buttery richness and briny salt is bridged by the coastal gin's sea-mineral botanical character. Thyme's aromatics reinforce the gin's herbal notes. A Pacific coast aperitif pairing that communicates terroir to the guest.
• starter: Seaside Gin's coastal botanical character mirrors the Dungeness crab bisque; a BC seaside terroir pairing
• casual: Seaside Gin's coastal botanical character mirrors the oceanic chowder; both express BC's seaside culture
• starter: Seaside Gin's oceanic botanical profile — sea asparagus, bladderwrack, and coastal herbs — mirrors the Pacific ceviche's oceanic freshness; the lime tiger's milk acidity resonates with the gin's own citrus backbone.
• aperitif: Seaside Gin's seaweed and kelp botanicals create a direct maritime-to-maritime complement with smoked herring. Both share the same origin — the Pacific Ocean — and the gin's botanical aromatics (iodine, brine, seaweed) are exact counterparts to the herring's cured-fish salinity. Sea salt crackers amplify the saline bridge; pickled cucumber's acid provides contrast and refresh; dill cream's herbal character bridges with the gin's citrus.
• aperitif: The radish's peppery bite and cultured butter's richness find a perfect partner in a coastal botanical gin. The salt element bridges the sea-influenced botanical profile. A Pacific coast aperitif pairing of real regional coherence.
