Welcome to the Northwest Whiskey Trail

Welcome to Shelter Point Distillery. Located in Campbell River on Vancouver Island, we are proud to craft some of the highest quality single malt and single grain whiskies in North America. Situated alongside the ocean and surrounded by 380 acres of farmland, our selection of uniquely Canadian premium whiskies are made with traditional methods that allow our Vancouver Island terroir to shine – including estate grown barley, our pure aquifer water and salty sea air imparted on our whisky as it ages.

Visit Copperworks distillery on Seattle’s waterfront and taste our American Single Malt whiskeys, gins, and vodka while watching the distilling process through floor-to-ceiling windows. See our hand-hammered copper Scottish stills and learn from our friendly staff how we produce everything from 100% malted barley. You can also join a tour or workshop held in the distillery, though it’s best to book in advance, as they sell out quickly! Please check our website for details.

Our award-winning Macaloney’s Distillery is one of a rare breed of ‘island’ distilleries. Located in Victoria on Vancouver Island, Canada our pristine and naturally beautiful island instills in our whiskies a unique infusion of island sea air and pure, fresh water. Touch, smell and taste your way through our wide selection of craft beers and whiskies as part of our immersive brewery & distillery tours. Discover the ingredients, methods, and passion that go into each and every bottle we produce.

For nearly two decades, we have brought something new, different, and relevant to whiskey, and we are proud to serve as a leading voice for American Single Malt. Book a tour and meet the talented people behind our whiskey, learn about our pioneering spirit, and walk the distillery floor to see first-hand how our unique production techniques – and our passion – make Westward the highest rated American Single Malt whiskey. All tours wrap up in our tasting room for an exploration of distillery exclusives that are not available anywhere else in the world.

To produce our single malts, we adopt the same basic raw materials and processes used for generations in the old world, but we don’t simply seek to replicate the results. With each expression we endeavor to create something that both honors the traditions of distilling that we admire and adds something worthwhile at the same time. Something new and distinctly American.

Talking Cedar is the first tribal-owned distillery in the United States of America.

Featuring a range of whiskeys, gin, brandy, small-batch releases, and locally-insprired beer, they can be enjoyed on-site or via takeaway.
