Head brewer Dean McLeod of the Victoria Caledonian Distillery and Brewery on Enterprise Crescent in Saanich opens the shipping box containing a copper wash still, fabricated by Forsyth’s in Rothes, Scotland. The still was ordered years in advance and showed up on St. Patrick’s Day after sailing through the Panama Canal. Caledonian expects to be brewing beer by June and hopes to have high-quality whiskey ready by 2019 or 2020, using a rapid maturation technology.
