Shelter Point Distillery - Regent Road Rye

Shelter Point Distillery operates on a working farm along the eastern coast of Vancouver Island, where they grow their own heritage grain varieties for distillation. This Canadian craft distillery controls every step from field to bottle.

The Regent Road Rye uses their estate-grown rye grain, milled and mashed on site before fermentation and distillation in their copper pot stills. The spicy, assertive character of the rye is shaped by maturation in the Pacific Northwest climate.

The coastal environment, with its temperature fluctuations and salt air, contributes subtle complexity to the spirit. Shelter Point focuses on single grain whisky tied to its specific place of origin rather than the blended traditions that dominated the category for decades.

It works neat, with a splash of water to open the grain character, or as the foundation of a Manhattan.
