SINGLE MALT ARTISANAL WHISKY
Sunsets and sea air:
unofficial ingredients
in every bottle.
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 handcraft 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.
Tasting Notes
Experts tell us that the inaugural batch of Shelter Point Single Malt Whisky has a very nice spice with good barrel sweetness, fruit and floral notes and
some chocolate on the nose. It’s nicely finessed with a good balance of complexity and delicateness. Translation? It goes down very, very smoothly.

SINGLE CASK #7
The Essence of Islay
This is seventh release in an ongoing series of single cask whiskies exclusively available at Shelter Point Distillery and on our website. This one-of-a-kind whisky consists of 138 hand-numbered bottles, and is a blend of Single Grain Barley & Malted Wheat. After spending 5 years in ex-Bourbon American oak, we finished things off for an additional 18 months in a rare ‘quarter cask’ from Islay. To help select this particular bottling, we had a helping hand from our good friend at YouTube’s Whisky in The 6, who narrowed down the selection from a group of our favourite recent cask samples. With notes of vanilla, toffee, salted caramel and billowing beach bonfire smoke.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Toffee and vanilla, with a slight dryness
Palate: The palate is filled with caramel and a slight saltiness, with good amount of peat
Finish: The finish is long and alternates between sweetness and peat.

DOUBLE BARREL #6
Dark and Decadent.
Our sixth Double Barreled whisky is a special collaboration with Vancouver Island’s renowned Coastal Black Winery.

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.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Blackberry pie, stewed plums, redcurrant jelly, vanilla & oak
Palate: Dark fruits (blackberries, black currant) & even darker chocolate, orange segments & gentle baking spice
Finish: A slightly spicy and drying finish with mixed fruit and nuts.

SMOKE AND OAK
Together at long last
Shelter Point’s first edition in a new series of Smoke & Oak driven small batch experimental whiskies has landed. For this expression, we smoked our own finishing barrels using a smouldering combination of applewood and locally-harvested Vancouver Island peat. Using 100% unmalted barley from on-site at Shelter Point Farm as a base, this is a whisky that breaks all the rules. This triple distilled whisky was aged in American oak ex-bourbon barrels for 5 years before a final rest in our hand-smoked finishing barrels for 6 months.
Tasting Notes
Smoke and Oak Batch 1 arrives with notes of demerara sugar, sweet hay, caramel, BBQ, chocolate, fruitcake, vanilla, pepper, and wisps of distant smoke.

THE FORBIDDEN BATCH 2
The whisky no one
knew they needed
Shelter Point’s second Single Malt Wheat Whisky release has finally arrived. This whisky is the third different grain whisky that we have bottled. Named after our local landmark “Forbidden Plateau”, this small mountain and our whisky are similar as both shrouded in mystery. By using Wheat as the base this whisky is truly unique and unlike anything we have ever produced. This whisky was double distilled and aged in exclusively in American oak ex-bourbon barrels for 6 and a half years.
Tasting Notes
The Forbidden whisky is sweet and medicinal on the nose. The palate is full of caramel and vanilla and slightly spicy note. The satisfying finish is a delicious combination of a slight peppery note and vanilla.

SMOKE POINT
A fireside dram.
Batch 2 of Shelter Point’s only peat influenced whisky. This single grain smoky delight has been aged in American oak ex-bourbon casks for 5 years and finished in casks previously used by a famous Islay distillery for over a year and a half. This special bottling is also only the second Shelter Point Whisky available in the 375ml format. The whisky is made from malted and unmalted barley and picks up influences of bourbon from the American oak cask and peated whisky from the ex-Islay casks. Sweet, smoky and complex, this whisky is perfect for a dram by the fire.
Tasting Notes
Smoke Point whisky is sweet, medicinal and smoky on the nose with barley sugars, iodine and campfire. The palate is sweet caramel, vanilla and sea salt, with peated warmth comforting the soul. The satisfying finish is a delicious combination of creamy pudding and a brand new first aid kit.

MONTFORT 151
Home is where
the whisky is.
Montfort 151 is a truly unique field-to flask whisky. The name itself is the very lot in which the single-grain barley was grown, as well the coordinates to the exact field are included on every bottle. The Montfort series has literal grass root beginnings, each field that we farm has a distinctive district lot number, as well as site specific soil classification, and a proximity to the ocean and forested land. These collective characteristics grow barley in distinctive and unique ways resulting in unique flavor profiles from these micro regions on our farm. Montfort 151 is distinctively different than the Montfort DL 141, and Montfort 151 is a proud product of our distillery home.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, Montfort DL 151 has distinct notes of vanilla fudge, dried fruits and hazelnut. The palate is honed and herbaceous with a luxurious assortment of dark chocolate cherries, leading to a warming spicy finish, with lingering oak and almond nougat.
