BC Spirits "Spirit a Day" #86 - Shelter Point Hand Foraged Botanical Gin

DISTILLER’S NOTES

Our hand-crafted botanical gin is distilled in small batches on our family owned distillery in Oyster River, Vancouver Island. What makes our spirit so bold and distinctive? Well for one, we use hand foraged local ingredients. The few ingredients we can’t find on our own farm are sourced from only the finest locations.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

An oldie but a goodie. You probably know Shelter Point Distillery for their amazing whiskies but their gin is special too. Focussing on terroir, this gin balances out fruity malted backbone with earthy and complex botanicals. Good starter gin for people even at 46%.

Alcohol - 46% / 92 proof

Color - Clear

Nose - Fresh cut pine, malted barley, musty forest

Taste - dried citrus, musty juniper with heavy dried herb kick (coriander and cardamon), salinity on the tongue along with deep malty backbone

Finish - Complex dried herbs and spices with sea air

Best Enjoyed - A great ballsy gin for Negronis, mix equal parts with Wood’s Amaro and Esquimalt Rosso Vermouth
