BC Spirits "Spirits a Day" #246 - Shelter Point Ripple Rock

DISTILLERY NOTES

Campbell River’s 1958 Ripple Rock explosion is the inspiration for our latest single malt whisky. It has spent 6 years in American oak before finishing for 18 months in an alligator charred Virgin Oak cask. Shelter Point Ripple Rock explodes with intense flavours of chocolate, spices and vanilla! This release is 47% ABV and contains casks that are at least 8 years old.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

This super exclusive distillery only release is quite amazing. Aged for at least 6 years in American Oak and then finished in Alligator char Virgin Oak. This is a beast, it has that classic Shelter Point nuances but then it’s jacked up with a huge bang of richness in cocoa, toffee and brown sugar. This is a must have expression.

Alcohol - 47% / 94 proof

Color - Burnt deep copper

Nose - Classic terroir driven Shelter Point notes, rain over the fields but then something dark and deep lurking underneath

Taste - Starts off classic Shelter Point style and then slowly ramps up and smacks you in the face with heavy dark notes of coffee, cocoa and brown sugar

Finish - Rich, dark chocolate, toffee and hints of vanilla

Best Enjoyed - Neat
