DISTILLERY NOTES

Our sixth Double Barreled whisky is a special collaboration with Vancouver Island’s renowned Coastal Black Winery. We hand selected 6 of our finest Single Malt 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 99 days in flavourful French oak, Shelter Point Double Barreled Whisky is a sensational marriage of spirits.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

Shelter Point just released their 6th batch of their Double Barrel, aged in a mix of American Oak, second fill French Oak and finished in blackberry wine casks from Coastal Black. The mix of complex oak notes, deep stonefruit and hints of sweetness from the blackberry wine is gorgeous. The usual bottle strength of 46% is the money spot for this whisky to shine, enjoy this neat and let it open up over a half an hour.

Alcohol - 46% / 92 proof

Color - Light beet red with orange edges

Nose - Musty vanilla French oak and blackberry jam is distinct on the nose

Taste - That distinct Shelter Point grain note gives the whisky the backbone to explore musty vanilla oak, creme brulee, blackberry jam and hints of barn hay
