Filey Bay Moscatel Finish is The Spirit of Yorkshire's first ‘finished’ release. Expect soft, spicy and notes of warming caramalised orange and dried fruits.
The use of bourbon casks followed by Moscatel barrels to finish the whisky creates a really interesting flavourful expression. It remains light and soft like the distillery's other releases but with an added depth and more fruit.
This field to bottle single malt was initially matured in 200L bourbon casks (filled in 2016), before being transferred to 250L Hogshead barrels from Spain that had held Moscatel for 10 years prior to this.
Spirit of Yorkshire was launched in 2016 and is a collaboration between farmer and brewer, Tom Mellor from World Top Brewery and business partner, David Thompson.
Spirit of Yorkshire are in control of every detail at every stage of the growing and distilling process. Their barley is grown in Hunmanby, on their family farm, with the water sourced from two locations sunk deep into the chalk.
A complex whisky with real depth and warming spice - Filey Bay's STR finish takes the citrus and vanilin rich flavours from ex-bourbon casks and weaves them with the red fruits of the Rioja barriques...
The distillery's "house style" and a whisky that would please experienced palates that will notice the complex and nuanced flavours, or malt newbeies who'll apriciate its easygoing nature.
