🚀 Les Subversifs: Bold Distilling Pioneers in Québec
Founded in Sorel-Tracy in 2010, Les Subversifs Distillery is one of the early trailblazers of modern Québec spirits. From its beginnings in Montérégie, the distillery made its philosophy clear: boldness, originality, and a strong connection to the local terroir. 🌾🇶🇵
Their first major hit — the Piger Henricus gin, now known as Gin de Marie-Victorin — quickly won the hearts of local enthusiasts 💚. Its signature ingredient, parsnip 🥕, introduced a fresh, risk-taking approach to flavor: more local, more daring, and undeniably authentic.
But Les Subversifs is about more than one standout gin. They’ve also reimagined the classic crème de menthe, bringing vintage flavors back to life with a modern twist ✨🌿. Every bottle is proof of their fearless creativity — challenging norms, reinventing tradition, and giving rise to new icons of the glass.
🎨 Creative, grounded, and proudly different, Les Subversifs has established itself as a defining force in Québec’s young but dynamic craft distilling scene.
