Happy Whisky Wednesday! If you’ve every visited a distillery, you know that a great deal of time is spent talking about barrels. The barrels play a critical role in creating the taste of the whisky, which is why distillers import aged barrels from all over the world to get a particular flavour.... Scotch whisky is typically aged in barrels that have previously held bourbon or sherry. The inside of the barrel is toasted (in Europe) or charred (in the U.S.) to create charcoal that filters the whisky to remove undesirable flavours over the aging process. All whisky barrels are made of oak, but the type of oak (American or European) will affect the spirit’s final flavour, since each wood has a different level of tannins, lactones and lignins that are absorbed into the whisky. Even the size of the barrel will have an effect. All this goes a long way to explaining why choosing a barrel is so important and why it was such a big day when our barrels arrived. Given the great taste of our whisky, we’re pretty darned happy with our choice. . . . . . . . . . . . . #farm #farmfam #whiskydistillery #fieldtoflask #kingofthrones #farmer #work #lovewhatyoudo #whiskies #whiskywednesday #drinks #spirits #smallbuisness #locallyowned #familyoperated #whiskywednesdayworld #pnw #oysterriver #pacficnorthwest #familyfarm #familyowned #smallbusiness #shoplocal #casks #artisanal #whisky #malt #owner #farmer #peopleofshelterpoint
Our distiller, James Marinus, took lead on a project, with an air gun in one hand and a crow bar in the other. Some descriptive words were required to help persuade bolts and holes to come together. We’re happy to report that no barley was harmed during this ordeal! James assembled the shiny galvanised beast that towers over 35 feet high, has a capacity of 100 metric tonnes of barley with air-drying capacities. Back in the day James’ nickname was Tex. We’re not sur...e if it was after the Texas longhorn or the Texaco gas station he frequented often. . . . . . . . . . . . . #farm #farmfam #whiskydistillery #fieldtoflask #farmtotable #pnw #oysterriver #pacficnorthwest #familyfarm #familyowned #smallbusiness #shoplocal #casks #artisanal #whisky #malt #owner #farmer #peopleofshelterpoint See more

Our long history & bright future People of Shelter Point The owner of Shelter Point Distillery is Patrick Evans, a third-generation farmer whose family members were turn of the 20th century pioneers in the Comox Valley. ... In 2005, Patrick and his family purchased what was once a research farm from the University of British Columbia, part of which was originally owned by his grandfather. The move allowed Patrick and his family to implement their farmpreneur vision one where farming could coexist with wildlife, humans, farming and commerce. Together with Operations Manager James Marinus and a hand-picked team, Patrick has created products that have already placed Shelter Point Distillery on the world stage. . . . . . . . . . . . . #farm #farmfam #whiskydistillery #fieldtoflask #farmtotable #pnw #oysterriver #pacficnorthwest #familyfarm #familyowned #smallbusiness #shoplocal #casks #artisanal #whisky #malt #owner #farmer #peopleofshelterpoint #farming #farmlife #nature #organic #spring #photooftheday #family #living #garden #agriculture #countrylife See more

NEW WHISKY ALERT! Introducing Shelter Point Single Cask Triple Grain. This is our single cask edition 5. Whisky is poetry, but it’s also alchemy. Here at Shelter Point we’re always in search of the perfect elixir. This whisky journey began when we married together a blend of malted barley, unmalted barley and rye whisky. Aged in an ex-bourbon cask, then finished in French oak, this seven-year-old whisky is a bottle of gold at the end of the grainbow. This limited release of only 288 bottles is available now from the distillery, and online at shelterpoint.ca #new

Happy Tuesday :) Have you tried our Montfort 151? Montfort 151 is a truly unique field-to-flask whisky. The name itself is the very lot in which the 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. You can get a bottle at the distillery 7 days a week 12-5 or online at https://shelterpoint.ca. Cheers!
This week we are thrilled to bring you the Holy Trinity of festive features. You will be thankful for our delicious Turkey Pot Pie loaded with chunks of turk...ey breast from Rossdown Farms & Natural Foods, carrots, peas and rutabaga, topped with a flakey rosemary puff pastry, side of cranberry sauce and paired a roasted golden beet and pear salad. This of course pairs perfectly with our newest feature cocktail, our Spiced Vieux Carré. House-spiced Dujardin brandy, with Esquimalt Wine Company’s Sweet Vermouth, Shelter Point Distillery Sunshine Liqueur, and touch of Lemon Juice. And of course, no Thanksgiving meal is complete without dessert! Finish off with a Spiced Pumpkin Cake served warm with vanilla ice cream and a house made salted caramel sauce. #pumpkinspicedlife
