Excellente dégustation de vos produits. Je recommande absolument cette visite. Elle vaut le détour. La madame qui fait les dégustations est excellente. Elle a pris le temps de nous expliquer comment déguster un whisky et de nous expliquer chaque produit.

For Whisky enthusiasts this is the place for you! Considered the best of Canadaian Whisky (in my opinion). Shelter Point a gem well worth traveling the gorgeous Oceanside Island Hwy to find this State-of-the-Art Facility and Tasting Room nestled in the Comox Valley. World Class Whisky made with locally farmed barley enriched by the Coastal sea air.
Experts are ready to can sit you down with a tour and tasting that delivers some of the finest vintages of whiskies, and a few other spirits as well!

Shelter Point Distllery is a stunning example of B.C.s capacity to create world class whisky. The sprawling coastal acreage is a perfect place for their barley to thrive while be influenced by the sea’s air.

The facility is absolutely gorgeous from the moment you turn on to the driveway into the lobby and into the distillery space itself with the beautiful copper pot stills, barrels, image etched windows and stonework.

The staff are very knowledgeable and the whisky tastings will have any whisky lover ready to open up their wallet and take a selection home with them!

A must visit for the enthusiasts and whisky curious alike!

Leuke Whiskey Distillery. Rondleiding eens per uur. Wordt verkocht als 45 minuten durende tour. Als je echter niet mee doet aan de proeverij (kinderen, rijden met RV) dan is de tour maar 15 minuten. Wij wisten dat niet en hebben uur gewacht voor een matige tour. Elk uur is er een tour.
Winkel verkopen ze ook whiskey. Niet meegenomen ivm terugreis.
Bij natweer in campbell river en als je kan meedoen met de proeverij is het aardig om te doen. Anders voorbij rijden.

Our group was part of an initial set of patrons who bought into three full barrel Whiskey casks at Shelter Point not long after it opened. We visited a few times to view our product (and to fill our casks initially) and each time has been a pleasure. It is a wonderful facility, wooden and stylishly crafted interior areas, with easily accessible tours (and it has been possible to book the production floor for events such as weddings, etc.). Lovely building and lots of gleaming copper and stainless steel distillation tanks. Nearby storage (harder to get a chance to see) with barrel aging space). All of the barley used in the whisky is grown on site.

An absolutely beautiful location! We enjoyed a tasting and also some cocktails. This place is very peaceful and beautiful. Would definitely come here again.

Enjoyed a lovely tasting with my husband and his uncle! I didn't catch the lovely lady's name that gave us our tasting, but she was very personable. We will be back once again when we can visit from the Yukon! 🙂

I had the good fortune of having a personal tour and tasting with Melissa as it was the last tour of the day and perhaps the rain kept folks away. Lucky me!

Like their whisky, the facility is world-class with gorgeous timber and stonework. The copper stills are made in and shipped from Scotland.

The tour was very informative. I even learned why bourbon casks are only used once in Kentucky for bourbon (take the tour to find out). It's cool that the property sits on an aquifer, hence the tasty water.

Tasting was excellent. I took home the Cask Strength Single Malt, by far my favourite of the three, although the Evans Family Reserve and Smoke Point were very good too.

Definitely a memorable experience being the only one on the tour. Melissa made me feel like a VIP.

I'll be back!
