Drive the scenic ribbon of Closson Road and you’ll discover a dream distilled to its purest essence: Bare Bones Distillery. Born from Nicole and Jason’s leap of faith...new province, new town, pandemic hurdles...the venture radiates both sweat equity and fearless vision.

Our party of seven settled into rustic lounge chairs and, within moments, felt like extended family. Cocktails arrived artfully layered with farm-to-shaker ingredients: lavender grown across the road, herbs plucked mere steps away, each sip a postcard from Prince Edward County. Their house vodka and gin: silky, crystalline, impeccably balanced...the kind of spirits that make seasoned restaurateurs (yes, I’ve worn that hat) sit back in reverent silence. And the citrus-laced lemon-cello and orange-cello: pure sunshine in a glass.

Yet it’s the hospitality that lingers longest. Jason’s encyclopedic distilling knowledge, staff who anticipate a need before it’s spoken...together they create an atmosphere as smooth as their spirits. Bare Bones may have started as a “labour of love,” but love is merely the base note; skill, perseverance, and unfiltered authenticity compose the rest.

Do yourself the grandest favour: plan a County road-trip, savour a signature cocktail, and...if fortune smiles...slip into their forthcoming Oyster & Caviar lounge. It’s a pilgrimage your palate will thank you for, long after...
