Sortilège

Quebec

Sortilège is a Canadian maple whisky liqueur produced in Quebec, made by blending Canadian whisky with pure Quebec maple syrup a distinctly Canadian product that occupies a unique category position combining Canada's two most internationally recognised agricultural products. The name means 'enchantment' or 'sorcery' in French; the liquid itself balances the grain-spirit warmth of Canadian whisky with the caramelised sweetness and vanilla notes of real maple syrup rather than artificial flavouring.

Canadian maple whisky liqueur exists at the intersection of cocktail ingredient, digestif, and spirits curiosity. For programmes wanting to represent Canadian spirits culture beyond standard blended Canadian whisky, Sortilège provides a product that resonates with guests who have visited Canada or encountered maple syrup as a food ingredient, translating that reference point into a spirits context. Served neat over ice as a dessert digestif, or used to sweeten whisky-based cocktails, Sortilège is one of the most culturally specific expressions in the Bouchon spirits range.
