Shelter Point Whisky Event @ The Barley Merchant

🥃✨ WHISKY TASTING EXPERIENCE: SHELTER POINT DISTILLERY

The Barley Merchant has been proudly championing BC-crafted spirits since day one—long before supporting local became the movement it is today. Over the years, not only has the selection of BC spirits grown, but so has the quality—and few distilleries showcase that evolution quite like Shelter Point.

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating one of Vancouver Island’s most acclaimed whisky producers. Known for crafting some of the finest small-batch single malts in the province (and earning recognition far beyond it), Shelter Point Distillery is bringing their exceptional lineup to The Barley Merchant for one night only.

🍽️ Thursday, April 16 | 6:00 PM

This immersive tasting experience pairs rare and limited-release whiskies with thoughtfully curated tapas from Executive Chef Hiran Perera and his culinary team—designed to complement and elevate every sip.
