Smooth 42 Distillery Offers Range of Unique Products
Apple Pie Moonshine is one of the unique products produced by Smooth 42 Distillery.
What started as a plan and an old curling rink in Brownlee has evolved into a distillery offering some of the more unique offerings you can find on Moose Jaw liquor store shelves. Smooth 42 Craft Distillery opened for business in 2018, a year after owners Adam Dombowsky, Daniel Dombowsky and Sacha Elez bought and renovated the old Brownlee curling rink. It took nearly a year and half to do the work
themselves, but upon opening, it didn’t take long for their stock of interesting alcoholic beverages to take centre stage. On top of their popular Apple Pie Moonshine, Smooth 42 – named as a rib on the once nigh-impassable Highway 42 that ran past Brownlee – also offers a selection of flavoured vodkas, rums and liqueurs ranging in flavour from their habanero-andgarlic infused vodka to a green coconut rum-flavoured liqueur.
Smooth 42 also recently came out with CRE8 Eco Vodka, a 90 percent alcohol vodka sold in a fillable bottle so purchasers can flavour the beverage however they like. Having the equipment on hand to make that product offered Smooth 42 a unique opportunity when the COVID-19 outbreak hit and hand sanitizer stocks began to run low. Smooth 42 quickly shifted production to creating their own hand sanitizer, producing such a volume that they were able to supply 25 communities in Saskatchewan with product, free of charge. Smooth 42 products can be found at liquor stores and off-sales throughout the province, and for more information you can find them at online at smooth42.ca, on Facebook or give them a shout at (306) 630-7468.
Radouga Distilleries Continues to Produce Award Winning Products
‘Smooth Like No Other Vodka’ might seem like just another marketing phrase, but for Radouga Distilleries, it’s one they take to heart. And they have the awards to prove it.
Radouga Distilleries continues to produce award winning vodkas and liquiers
It all starts with their Provincial vodka, which started cleaning up at competitions shortly after it was first released in 2015, win-
ning silver at the New York World Wine and Spirits competition, followed with a gold in 2016. A year later, it won another silver medal, this time at the San Francisco World Spirits competition, and 2018 saw one of their highest honours yet, a platinum medal at the 2018 California Spirits International Prestige awards. Last year, both Provincial vodka and Provincial spiced vodka were honoured with Consumer Choice Awards at SIP, with their spiced product also claiming double gold at the PROOF awards. Founded in 2014 by Paul Riben on his family farm near Blaine Lake, Radouga uses an on-site spring found deep beneath their distillery for their water, which gives their Provincial vodkas and apple pie and blueberry liqueurs their unique and smooth taste.
