Badlands Distillery Blood Orange Spirit

Badlands Distillery Blood Orange Spirit is a citrus-flavoured spirit made in small batches in Leduc, Alberta. Badlands builds it on its own corn-based spirit (100% Alberta corn, according to the producer), so it is naturally gluten-free, and the aim is bright, natural-tasting blood orange with a hint of grapefruit rather than a sugary profile. It sits between a sipping spirit and a cocktail base and is a natural fit for spritzes and highballs. Bottled at 30% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Badlands is a veteran-owned and operated distillery that distils and blends its whole range from corn.
