Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery
Single Malt Whisky 'Filey Bay - Fino Sherry Single Cask'
Single Malt Whisky 'Filey Bay - Fino Sherry Single Cask'
- Single cask single malt whisky produced by Spirits of Yorkshire in Hunmanby, North Yorkshire, England
- Distilled from 100% estate-grown barley from co-founder Tom Mellor’s family farm
- Barley is mashed and fermented using chalk-filtered water from beneath the Yorkshire Wolds (a range of open country hills that spans East & North Yorkshire)
- Twice distilled on Forsyth copper pot stills
- Aged 4 years in a Fino sherry hogshead sourced from Jerez, Spain
- The pot still distillation is both immediately apparent and balanced by the fino sherry cask aging with notes of baked apple, gingerbread, orange zest, white pepper, and raisin on a spicy, robust palate which shows lingering notes of passion fruit and apricot
- No additives or coloring
- US exclusive, limited release of only 300 bottles
- Non-chill filtered; bottled at a cask strength of 61% ABV
Filey Bay’s Fino Sherry Single Cask Single Malt Whisky is a fiery and refined cask strength, pot distilled whisky tempered by and aged in Fino sherry casks. This US exclusive, single cask bottling is a perfect marriage of Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery’s light, fruity house style of whisky and the umami-rich salinity imparted by the sherry cask finish.

"An intense wave of exotic spices and concentrated fruits: red apple, vanilla essence, citrus peel, dried fruits, golden sultana, and Thai curry spices. Impeccably balanced and composed, it has a thick chewy texture of dense fruitiness that you could scoop out with a spoon, displaying flavors of red apple, sweet tropical fruits, muscovado sugar, citrus peel, and a robust spiciness. Trust me, this is a phenomenal single cask whisky. (300 bottles)"
