Shelter Point Single Malt 50ml

This item is archived.

A 50ml of the second release of Shelter Point Single Malt (Spring 2017) has been bottled at 46% after maturing in Jack Daniels barrels. The whisky is made from two row barley, grown on the distillery's farm, doubled distilled in copper pot stills, matured and bottled on site. Rumour has it the whisky was matured exclusively in ex-Jack Daniels casks. Featured on Day 11 of the KWM Whisky Advent Calendar, 2017 edition.

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: fresh, toasty and honeyed; a touch of sour orange opens into oatmeal-raisin cookies right out of the over and corn syrup; a touch vegetal and quite malty with aloe-like oils.

Palate: still fresh, malty and honeyed; the corn syrup is still there with some simple syrup and melons; the orange note is drying with some Demerara sugar and Russian coffee dregs; still vegetal and floral with loads of toasty oak; the oatmeal-raisin cookies are still there, right out of the oven... not enough raisins though!

Finish: clean, crisp and toasty; more malty tones, sugars and honey with a floral finale.

Comment: more mature by a hair than the first release; further proof that they are on the right track!
