A Smoking Hot Summer

Its only halfway through summer, but a little much needed recent rain turned our thoughts toward those cold winter nights. We thought we’d share a little of our barrel smoking process that we use to create our award winning Smoke Point.

In Smoke Point we have created a whisky for you to enjoy that captures the spirit of the island campfire and brings the best of Vancouver Island to the canon of smoky, peaty whiskies. We start by collecting driftwood from the shore, and other woods from the farm are smoked, with a little bit of local peat added to the mix as well. This smoke is then piped into the barrels allowing the smoke to infuse into the wood, ready for our spirit to extract the flavour.The rich smoky flavours carry a salty tang and hint of iodine from the seaweed and salt on the driftwood that balances perfectly with the sweet creamy mouthfeel of this award-winning whisky. Experience campfire, cigar smoke and oak on the nose. Chocolate, fruit, and toffee on the palette, finishing in a delicious combination of creme brulée and salty graham cracker.
