Choosing a name for our distillery was a journey as intricate and meaningful as the spirits we craft. “Deep Blue” is more than just a name; it’s a reflection of our connection to the land, the sea, and the traditions that shape our craft.
The name “Deep Blue” is inspired by the stunning waters of the Pacific Ocean, which borders British Columbia. The deep, vibrant blue of the ocean symbolizes purity, depth, and vastness, qualities that we strive to embody in our spirits. The Pacific’s relentless waves and boundless horizons remind us of the endless possibilities and the adventurous spirit that drives us to innovate and perfect our craft.
A Nod to the Fraser River
Our distillery is located in Richmond, a city intertwined with the Fraser River. This river, with its rich history and vital role in the region’s development, represents life, movement, and connection. The meeting point of the Fraser River and the Pacific Ocean is a powerful symbol of convergence—where different elements come together to create something extraordinary. Just as the river flows into the ocean, our passion for distilling flows into every bottle we produce.
A Journey Over the Mountains
The journey to create Deep Blue Distilleries mirrors the geographical journey over the majestic mountains that separate British Columbia from the rest of Canada. This path over rugged terrain symbolizes our commitment to overcoming challenges and reaching new heights in the craft of distilling. It’s a reminder of the perseverance and determination that defines our approach to creating exceptional spirits.
Connection with the Prairies
Our founders also share a deep connection with the farming regions of the Peace Region shared by British Columbia and Alberta. This connection to the expansive, fertile lands of the prairies enriches our appreciation for the natural ingredients that go into our spirits. The Peace Region, known for its pristine environment and agricultural bounty, inspires us to source the finest ingredients and honour the land in every step of our distillation process.
Craftsmanship and Quality
The name “Deep Blue” reflects our commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Just as the ocean’s depth and expanse are awe-inspiring, we aim to create spirits that leave a lasting impression. Our meticulous process, from selecting the finest ingredients to employing state-of-the-art distillation techniques, ensures that every sip of our gin, vodka, and moonshine is a testament to our dedication to excellence.
“Deep Blue” encapsulates our journey, our environment, and our heritage. It’s a name that connects us to the natural beauty of British Columbia, the adventurous spirit of our founders, and our unwavering commitment to producing world-class experience. When you enjoy a drink from Deep Blue Distilleries, you’re not just tasting a finely crafted spirit—you’re experiencing a piece of our story, our passion, and our home.
