Ampersand Per Se Vodka

Ampersand Distilling is based in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia, operating out of a working farm near Duncan on Vancouver Island where they grow and source their own grain.

Per Se Vodka is made from a blend of wheat and corn, both sourced from the distillery's farming operation and nearby agricultural partners, giving the production a genuine grain-to-glass foundation that is uncommon even among craft producers.

The distillation is carried out in a custom copper pot still combined with a column, and the vodka is bottled without chill filtration, a deliberate choice that preserves texture and retains the natural oils present in the spirit.

The result is a vodka with more body and mouthfeel than most commercial examples, sitting noticeably richer on the palate. For those who find most vodka thin or anonymous, Per Se offers a tangible point of difference rooted in actual agricultural practice rather than marketing.

It works well neat or lightly chilled, and holds its character in a simple mixed drink without disappearing. At this price point within the BC craft category, it represents genuine production integrity from a distillery that has earned a solid reputation for quality across its range.
