About Valley of Mother of God Gin (VMG)

Where Canadian Craft Meets Global Ambition

The world admires Canada for its forests, lakes, and natural resources, yet often overlooks what truly sets us apart: our talent, innovation, and ambition. Canadians are seen as humble and “nice,” but rarely as leaders in craftsmanship, luxury, or global influence.

Valley of Mother of God Gin exists to change that. Our mission is to showcase Canada’s abundance on the world stage through a luxury gin that embodies the sophistication, sustainability, and creativity of our country.

Founding partners Malcolm Roberts and Shelly Perry spent three years on their Ontario farm developing the unique recipes for their gins in collaboration with an unrivalled team of global experts. Malcolm is a 30-year marketing veteran with deep experience in brand strategy and premium spirits, while Shelly brings a food science background and a track record as an award-winning pharmaceutical sales executive.

Problem

The World Sees Our Beauty, Not Our Strength.

For too long, Canada has let others define its image: a land of natural beauty, politeness, and quiet strength. But beneath that modest exterior lies a country bursting with world-class talent, bold ideas, and a spirit of craftsmanship that deserves global recognition.

What’s missing isn’t potential, it’s visibility.

Despite being admired for its landscapes and resources, Canada has yet to claim its place in the world of luxury – a space where authenticity, innovation, and craft are celebrated.

Valley of Mother of God Gin distills the essence of Canada’s wilderness, ingenuity, and creative energy, into a luxury gin that demands attention on the global stage. Through authenticity, sustainability, and uncompromising craft, we aim to redefine how the world experiences Canadian excellence.

Solution

VMG: Authenticity, Innovation, & Global Appeal

There has never been a better moment to share our internationally awarded Canadian gins, and the values they represent, with the world.

Valley of Mother of God Gin has proven that Canada can compete on the global luxury stage. From award-winning recognition at the Global Spirits Masters in the U.K. to successful exports in Japan and the Gulf Region, VMG is earning respect in some of the world’s most discerning markets.

What began on a small Ontario farm has grown into a brand admired for its authenticity, design innovation, and unmistakably Canadian character. Our gins are crafted from over 20 botanicals; some grown and smoked at our farm, and others foraged across Canada, that capture the aromas and flavors of the Canadian wilderness in every bottle.

With a loyal community of investors, a growing network of top-tier hospitality partners, and a management team with global spirits and marketing expertise, VMG has built the foundation for a scalable, export-ready luxury brand.

Opportunity

A Global Market Ready for Premium, Authentic Spirits

Around the world, consumers are drinking less — but choosing to drink better quality. The shift toward premiumization has transformed the spirits industry, with growth driven by authenticity, craftsmanship, and purpose rather than mass production.

In this new landscape, premium and super-premium gin has become one of the fastest-growing spirits segments, expanding across Asia, North America, and the Middle East as consumers seek discovery and distinction in every glass.

VMG is uniquely positioned to capture this momentum: a luxury gin that embodies Canadian provenance and innovation — a story that resonates globally but remains rare in the market. While countries like Japan, Scotland, and France have already built strong identities in craft spirits, Canada’s opportunity remains wide open.

With international recognition, strong early traction in export markets, and a scalable production model, VMG is building a brand with the potential to lead Canada’s entry into the global luxury spirits conversation.

Our strategy focuses on:

  • Deepening domestic leadership through premium positioning across Canada.
  • Expanding high-margin exports to Japan, the UAE, and additional Asia-Pacific markets.
  • Leveraging brand authenticity and design to stand out in a crowded global category.

As global consumers trade quantity for quality, VMG represents the kind of meaningful brand growth investors are seeking — rooted in authenticity, driven by innovation, and built to last.

Market Opportunity

Capturing Cross-Category Growth Beyond Gin

Valley of Mother of God gins are crafted to go beyond gin, appealing to vodka, scotch, and bourbon drinkers in key regions. Vodka, the largest recruitment source into gin, creates a strong opportunity for VMG Dry Gin with its softer juniper profile. The unique Maplewood Smoked Gin extends into adjacent categories with its slightly sweet, gently smoky character, tapping the “drink less, drink better” trend and unlocking cross-category growth.

The Total Addressable Market spans gin, vodka, and all whisky:

● CANADA (ex. Quebec): 6.8M 9L cases

● UNITED STATES (Key states: NY, FL, CA, IL, GA, TX): 67M 9L cases

● ASIA-PACIFIC (JP, PH, HK, SG): 77M 9L cases

Traction

Proven In The World’s Toughest Market

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is one of the world’s largest and most competitive beverage alcohol retailers, generating over CAD $7 billion in annual sales. Securing shelf space and visibility within this monopoly environment is a strong validation of a brand’s quality and market appeal. VMG’s success at the LCBO demonstrates its ability to compete head-to-head with global spirits leaders in one of the toughest retail markets worldwide.

32% CAGR Since Launch Signals:

  • Strong product–market fit (people rebuying and trading up).
  • Efficient scaling (distribution and supply chain able to keep pace).
  • Category leadership potential, particularly as margins and brand equity strengthen alongside growth.

Marketing That Punches Above Its Weight

Through co-founder Malcolm Roberts’ 30 years international marketing experience in beverage alcohol, VMG consistently punches above its weight in advertising and promotion by leveraging high-value partnerships, luxury brand collaborations, and strategic on-premise activations. Add to this, presence in Canada’s best bars and engaging social media with top influencers, and VMG delivers outsized brand impact that rivals global players.

Competitive Set

Canada’s Authentic Answer to the World’s Most Respected Luxury Gins

Valley of Mother of God gins sit at the intersection of accessibility and true luxury, bridging the gap between Canada’s novelty – driven Empress gin and the global icons like Hendrick’s, Roku, and Monkey 47. While Empress has captured attention with colour – changing appeal, VMG elevates Canada’s identity on the world stage with a terroir – driven luxury story — crafted from wild Canadian juniper, maplewood smoke, and provenance – rich botanicals. This positions VMG not as a gimmick, but as Canada’s authentic answer to the world’s most respected luxury gins.

Use of Funds

Scaling Operations, Marketing, and Distribution

The capital raised will fuel VMG’s next growth stage, with a third allocated to SG&A, licensing, and labor to build the team and infrastructure to scale. Marketing (22%) and working capital (20%) will expand brand awareness, retail presence, and inventory across Canada and key global markets. Supply chain investment (15%) will accelerate international expansion, with digital and DTC spend (5%) to deepen consumer engagement, and a 5% reserve ensures agility.

This positions VMG to strengthen Canadian leadership, establish U.S. distribution networks, and build a footprint in global luxury spirits hubs.
