DISTILLERY NOTES

Paradise isn’t necessarily a geographical requirement for making great whisky, but we managed to find it at Shelter Point. It’s here that we hand craft our 100% Single Malt Whisky, distilled batch-by-batch in traditional copper pot stills from two-row barley, and aged in American oak barrels in our oceanfront warehouse. When it comes to artisanal whisky, every element matters—and in our unique, temperate rainforest climate, even the sunsets and sea air become integral.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

Shelter Point's classic staple, the Artisanal Single Malt is a beautiful and bright example of what the distillery does very well. A fantastic BC example of a highland / speyside style made here on the island, citrus, aromatic grain notes with hints of pear, nutmeg and spicy vanillas. The brightness coats the palate and then a deep, bassy notes of toffee and butterscotch and rich oak. Must have for the enthusiast.
