Victoria Gin, is it a find?

Here is the press info for Winchester Cellars Newly launched gin:

VICTORIA GIN A FIRST FOR VANCOUVER ISLAND
Ken Winchester of Winchester Cellars in Victoria, BC has launched British Columbia’s only handcrafted gin. Winchester’s Victoria Gin has already won gold at the Northwest Wine Summit amongst more than 1,000 wines and spirits. Victoria Gin blends 10 locally grown organic botanicals from juniper berries to rose petals and is distilled in small batches in a gleaming handmade wood-fired copper pot still. A secret 11th ingredient is known only to the distiller. Barking Dog Vineyard, the first and only certified organic vineyard on Vancouver Island, produces the organically grown fruit and botanicals for Winchester Cellars. A renowned Victoria winemaker in Canada’s fastest growing wine region, Ken Winchester travelled to Scotland to learn the art of distilling from the masters at Bruichladdich Distillery. The first licensed distillery on Vancouver Island, Winchester Cellars will now turn its attention to single malt whisky.
