Shelter Point 10-Year Cask Strength Single Malt
57.8% ABV - British Columbia, Canada
Nose: No other way to describe—it’s chocolate covered strawberries, with cherry and baking spices.
Taste: A collection of red fruits, candied fruits, and loads of vanilla with a sweet, orange marmalade.
Finish: Ends with dried fruit, spices, a chili powder heat and some oak wood.
When this first batch of 10-Year Cask Strength Single Malt was released, I considered myself lucky that I was able to get two bottles—it’s been fun to share this whisky and I haven’t seen a cask strength version available again.
This whisky a testament to the quality that the Shelter Point team adhere to and is an excellent whisky to sip on. Leon Webb was the main distiller at Shelter Point when this was released and I think it is one of the finest creations he laid his hands on, before he moved on to Tamnavulin.
Details: 2021 Release.
Tasting Notes (Official): With a nose led be notes of creamy vanilla, milk chocolate, apricots and green apples, a palate featuring baking spices, chocolate chip cookie dough and a kiss of sea salt, this 10-Year-Old Batch Strength Single Malt finishes with lingering woody spice, candied ginger and an assortment of baked goods. A delight for the senses to be shared and savored.
