From the agave fields of Mexico to the rugged coast of Canada, Mariner’s Spirit revives a forgotten passage and a lost flavor. Aboard a tall ship, the first sail cargo vessel to service the Pacific in generations, oak barrels of fresh agave spirit make the long voyage north, rocked by the ocean’s rhythm, soaking in its salt air. In limited quantities, each bottle emerges transformed: a living testament to patience, craft, and the sea’s timeless hand.
We’ve sourced the finest agave spirits from Mexico, and will carry them north aboard a restored tall ship, resting in oak barrels as they cross the open Pacific. During this voyage, the spirits will roll with the swell, breathe the salt air, and evolve through motion and time, a natural, sea-aging process lost to the world.Upon arrival on Canada’s rugged coast, each barrel will be bottled and shared in limited quantities, its character shaped by distance, weather, and wind. In doing so, we’re reviving not only a forgotten flavour of the ocean, but an entire craft, the art of sail-powered trade.
