Shelter Point Distillery
At Shelter Point, they are distilling and bottling some of the most exciting single malt whiskies made anywhere. For the last decade, their 100% Canadian take on single malt whisky has been a game-changer, raising eyebrows and glasses while winning accolades and the respect and admiration of some of the world’s leading whisky writers and aficionados.
The sole focus at Shelter Point is on the execution of the finest expressions of single malt whisky. Only the highest quality Canadian two-row barley, grown in British Columbia, is selected for malting. They employ a traditional approach: slow fermentations and double-distillation produce a new-make spirit full of flavour, ready for maturation in an array of woods selected from around the world for their unique flavour specialties. Sitting on the edge of the ocean in our unique setting in northern Vancouver Island, the spirit interacts with the elements as much as with the wood. Brought together after years of aging for a long period of maturation in their solera system the outcome is uniquely spectacular single malt whisky.
