Spy makes apple ciders in 473 ml cans, including Golden Eye premium dry cider (sold at the LCBO) and Never Say Never estate apple cider, and distils its own apples into Mata Hari aged apple brandy, Spy Vodka and Spy Gin, plus Night Shift espresso liqueur.
Spy's canned cider (HTS 2206.00.15, "Cider, fermented, whether still or sparkling"), bottled apple brandy, vodka, gin and liqueur can no longer ship to the US: the US import ban on listed Canadian alcohol took effect September 29, 2026, after a 50% Section 338 duty that applied from August 22, 2026. We found nothing saying Spy sold in the US; its site points buyers to its own shop, the LCBO and venues across Ontario.Source: whitehouse.gov, Sep 8, 2026
You must be of legal drinking age in your province to buy alcohol. Rules on shipping alcohol between provinces vary, so buy from the maker directly or through your provincial liquor store. We only link to makers; nothing is sold on this site.
Made in Canada
Spy grows and presses fruit on its 78-acre orchard at 808108 Sideroad 24 in The Blue Mountains, Ontario: Never Say Never is "Grown and pressed on site", and the vodka is "Picked, pressed, fermented and triple distilled on site" from "Local Ontario apples."
