Shelter Point Smoke Point Canadian Single Malt Whisky

Produced by Shelter Point Distillery on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Smoke Point is a smoky Canadian single malt made from 100% malted B.C. barley. The current expression takes a distinctive approach to smoke: rather than relying solely on peated malt, Shelter Point ages the whisky in barrels smoked with driftwood gathered from its shoreline and native woods surrounding the distillery. Bottled at 53% ABV, it combines coastal smoke and maritime salinity with chocolate, fruit, toffee and creamy sweetness.

Food Pairing: Smoked salmon, barbecue pork, grilled beef, aged cheddar, dark chocolate, or crème brûlée with toasted nuts.

Tasting Notes: Rich and smoky, balancing campfire and cigar smoke with chocolate, ripe fruit, toffee, creamy sweetness, coastal salinity and subtle iodine.

Nose: Bold and aromatic, with campfire and cigar smoke accompanied by seasoned oak, maritime character and subtle sweet malt.

Palate: Rich and creamy, developing chocolate, fruit and toffee alongside smoky wood, gentle iodine and a distinctive salty coastal character.

Finish: Long and satisfying, with crème brûlée sweetness and salty graham cracker joined by lingering smoke, oak and maritime salinity.

Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature in a Glencairn or tulip-shaped whisky glass; at 53% ABV, a few drops of water can help open its chocolate, fruit and smoky coastal character.
