The 10th Annual Canadian Whisky Awards saw Campbell River’s own Shelter Point Distillery win ‘Best All-Rye Whisky’ in Canada.
The distillery beat rivals from across the country at last night’s awards ceremony in Victoria, taking home the crown for its Single Cask Rye.
Shelter Point won gold medals for its Single Cask Rye and for its recently released Smoke Point Single Grain Whisky.
The latter of the two is finished in ex-Laphroaig barrels from Islay in Scotland.
Shelter Point Artisanal Cask Strength, Shelter Point Artisanal Single Malt, Shelter Point Double Barrel, Shelter Point Montfort DL 141, Shelter Point Single Cask Old Vines Foch Reserve, and Shelter Point Wine and Beyond Exclusive Single Malt brought home silver medals.
Bronze medals were awarded for its Shelter Point Strath 8 Year Old, Shelter Point Strath Islay Cask, and Shelter Point Exclusive Co-op Rye as well.
