Summary

Shelter Point Double Barrel Single Malt is a meticulously crafted whisky that showcases the art of double maturation. This spirit is aged initially in American oak barrels, which impart a rich, vanilla sweetness and a smooth, creamy texture. The second maturation in French oak wine barrels adds layers of complexity, introducing subtle fruitiness and a hint of spice, making it a well-rounded and intriguing single malt.

On the nose, this whisky offers a delightful bouquet of aromas, including ripe orchard fruits, vanilla, and a touch of oak. The palate is equally inviting, with flavors of sweet malt, honey, and a gentle spice that dances on the tongue. The influence of the French oak barrels is evident, providing a delicate balance of fruit and spice that enhances the overall experience.

The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of vanilla, oak, and a hint of dried fruit. Shelter Point Double Barrel Single Malt is an excellent choice for both novice and experienced whisky drinkers, offering a harmonious blend of flavors that are both approachable and complex. Whether enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, this whisky is sure to impress.
