Vancouver Firefighters Charities (VFC) is proud to introduce “Backdraft” Bourbon-Style Whisky, a premium spirit crafted in partnership with Okanagan Spirits. This unique collaboration not only celebrates the craftsmanship of fine whisky but also serves as a catalyst for supporting essential community programs operated by the VFC.
Inspired by the rich history of Vancouver’s Firehall #6, each bottle of “Backdraft” Bourbon-Style Whisky features a vintage photo, offering a glimpse into the heritage of our local firefighters. Moreover, this inaugural release marks the beginning of an annual fundraiser, with each year featuring a new bottle design that pays homage to different aspects of firefighting culture and history in Vancouver.
Available for purchase now on Okanagan Spirits’ website, “Backdraft” Bourbon-Style Whisky offers more than just a delightful tasting experience. As part of the launch, Vancouver Firefighter Charities will also roll out a series of cocktail recipes on social media, inviting whisky enthusiasts to explore the versatility of this exceptional spirit. Additionally, “Backdraft” Whisky will take center stage at select Fire in Your Kitchen Dinners, showcasing its versatility as both a standalone drink and a versatile ingredient in culinary creations.
The VFC oversees a number of charitable outreach programs including the BC Burn Fund, Toys For Kids, Sports For Kids and Lifelines For Seniors that directly benefit at-risk youth and seniors in communities throughout BC as well as the annual Hall of Flame Calendar, which has raised more than a million dollars for VFC programs since its inception in 1988.
