Shelter Point 2016 Inaugural Run

Vancouver Island grain farmer Patrick Evans built Shelter Point distillery in Oyster River on one of the last remaining seaside farms in British Columbia. Distiller James Marinus has been crafting traditional single malt whisky there since 2011. Barley sugar and a sweet waxiness lead into ripe red fruits and soft peachy sweetness with mild spices and hints of mealy halva. Malty and mature well beyond its years rising peppery notes introduce a long sweet grassy finish. Nicely balanced. C$70
