“The 2021 World Whiskies Awards saw Vancouver Island’s Shelter Point Distillery win Best Single Cask Single Malt Whisky in Canada for their ‘Single Cask Peat Finish’. The distillery also won Best Canadian Grain whisky in Canada for ‘Smoke Point Batch 2’. These, along with a win for Shelter Point Artisanal Single Malt picking up Best Canadian Single Malt 12 Years and Under, means the 2021 WWA’s turned out to be an amazing event for Shelter Point!

‘Single Cask Peat Finish’ is the Fourth Edition in a series of Single Cask expressions from Shelter Point Distillery. A single grain expression of 100% unmalted barley grown on-site at Shelter Point, the Fourth Single Cask Edition was matured for 5 years in an ex-bourbon American oak barrel, before an 18-month finishing in an ex-Islay cask from the favourite distillery of the Prince of Wales. While this award-winning expression is sold-out globally, an incoming parcel of casks fresh from a neighbouring Islay distillery is now en-route to Shelter Point. For further details on a chance to get in on the ground floor for this historic event, contact distillery manager Jacob Wiebe jacob@shelterpoint.ca

Shelter Point’s World Whiskies Award-winning ‘Smoke Point Batch 2’ was matured for 5 years in ex-bourbon American oak casks, before spending more than a year and a half in ex-Islay casks. Our Artisanal Single Malt is distilled batch-by-batch in traditional copper pot stills from two-row barley, and aged for 5 years in American oak barrels and matured in our oceanfront warehouse
