LCBO Food & Drink Holiday 2019

PRESENTS OF MIND

For spirits fans Spirits are getting friendly with everyone’s other favourite beverages. They can be infused into wine prod- ucts, such as Kittling Ridge’s Icewine & Brandy ( LCBO 558999, 375 mL, $19.95) or combined with other spirits. Whisky even meets beer in modern ale-barrel finishes.
