SINGLE MALT WHISKY

Vancouver Island Coastal Influence

 

Shelter Point Single Malt Whisky is a classic expression made in small batches using traditional methods, pot distillation and glacier fed aquifer water. Sitting on the coast of Vancouver Island the spirit benefits from the unique influence of our geography, ocean and terroir as it ages in different select casks. The whisky shows a balanced marriage of fruits, caramel, barley, baking spices, honey, seaside whiff, hints of wine, smoke and the sweet leathery mouthfeel of a high-quality single malt.

RIPPLE ROCK SINGLE MALT

An explosion of flavour

 

Campbell River’s 1958 Ripple Rock explosion is the inspiration behind this expression of Shelter Point single malt whisky, aged in alligator charred virgin American oak casks and bourbon barrels. Distilled in traditional pot stills with glacier fed aquifer water, Ripple Rock explodes with flavour, with vanilla spice and oak on the nose, caramel with raisins, barbeque notes, pepper and clove on the palate, balanced with toffee and chocolate on the finish.

MONTFORT 

Home is where
the whisky is.

 

Named after Barrett Montfort, the founder of the Shelter Point farm, Montfort is a special field-to-flask whisky. This whisky literally has its roots in this beautiful land. A true single grain whisky, made from 100% barley, Montfort is grown, distilled and bottled entirely in one location. Each of the fields on the farm have specific soil classifications and different proximities to the sea and the forests. These micro regions produce barley grown in different ways, each with distinctive and unique flavor profiles. The outcome is a whisky of depth, subtlety and complexity. On the nose Montfort is light, floral and fruity. The palate is full of honey and raisins, with a creamy mouthfeel. The finish is long, enriched with spice, fudge and oak, making Montfort a beautifully rounded premium single grain whisky experience.

EVANS FAMILY RESERVE

Wine Cask Finish

 

The Evans Family Reserve range is a proprietary vatting of our finest single malt in select casks. We are delighted to present this limited expression finished in French oak wine casks. Selected from BC wineries, these casks bring a delightful depth and fruitiness to the whisky. Sweet, fruity with hints of spice, there’s plenty of butterscotch, vanilla and rich tannins creating a superbly rounded mouthfeel. Dark chocolate, berries, citrus and hints of coconut on the palate lead to a long finish where raisins, figs and a little clove appear.

SMOKE POINT

A fireside dram.

 

Smoke Point single malt whisky is a proprietary vatting of whisky that has been aged in barrels smoked with driftwood from our shore and native woods found around the distillery. The rich smoky flavours carry a salty tang and hint of iodine from the seaweed and salt on the driftwood that balances perfectly with the sweet creamy mouthfeel of this award-winning whisky. Experience campfire, cigar smoke and oak on the nose. Chocolate, fruit, and toffee on the palette, finishing in a delicious combination of creme brulée and salty graham cracker. In Smoke Point we have created a whisky for you to enjoy that captures the spirit of the island campfire and brings the best of Vancouver Island to the canon of smoky, peaty whiskies.

Shelter Point Farm and Distillery

Established in 2011, Shelter Point Distillery is located on 380 acres in Oyster River, BC, about halfway up the eastern side of Vancouver Island on the west coast of Canada. The land encompasses 2,000 metres of spectacular oceanfront, a natural mosaic of streams, a salmon-bearing river, wetlands, forests and fields—all shared with native wildlife, from bald eagles and great blue herons to black tailed deer and black bears. Farmed for generations, Shelter Point remains one of the last seaside farms on the Island.
