We left our campground mid-morning, planning to wend our way around the coast to Percé, knowing not much would be open on a Sunday. We got 10 minutes out of the campground, and were just leaving the town of Cap Chat, when we looked at each other and said, ‘That distillery we just passed – do you suppose it makes gin? Do you suppose it’s open?’ Google said the answer to both was Yes, so we turned around and went back. Obvs.
I couldn’t do any tasting, as I was driving, but as well as a lovely gin, we each bought a bottle of an olive-flavoured eau-de-vie, which the salesman assured us was good for deglazing the pan when grilling meat or fish. Hunh. Then, back on the road, gin laden, as God intended.
