HOME IS WHERE THE WHISKY IS

Named after Barrett Montfort, the founder of the Shelter Point farm, Montfort is a special field-to-flask whisky. This whisky literally has its roots in this beautiful land. A true single grain whisky, made from 100% barley, Montfort is grown, distilled and bottled entirely in one location. Each of the fields on the farm have specific soil classifications and different proximities to the sea and the forests. These micro regions produce barley grown in different ways, each with distinctive and unique flavor profiles. The outcome is a whisky of depth, subtlety and complexity.

Tasting Notes:

On the nose Montfort is light, floral and fruity. The palate is full of honey and raisins, with a creamy mouthfeel. The finish is long, enriched with spice, fudge and oak, making Montfort a beautifully rounded premium single grain whisky experience.
