DISTILLERY NOTES

Our fifth Double Barreled whisky is a special collaboration with Vancouver Island’s renowned Coastal Black Winery. We hand-selected six of our finest Single Malt & Single Grain whisky casks and finished them in French oak wine barrels, previously home to Coastal Black’s Blackberry Wine. Aged in our American oak for 6 years, and then finished for 75 days in flavourful French oak, Shelter Point Double Barreled Whisky is a sensational marriage of spirits.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

I think by now, you all know my absolute devotion and love for the Shelter Point. I haven’t had a bad whisky yet, this is their 5th batch of this style; finished in Coastal Black blackberry wine French oak casks for 75 days. On the nose, classic Shelter Point with a hint of what else is in store in that rich vanilla, fruity wine aromas. On the palate, the whisky stands up and leans into their classic stone fruit, cut hay, old wood into a fruity sweet medley of earthy blackberry and spicy vanilla.
