Spirit of Yorkshire launches fourth single malt whisky
The Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery has released its fourth single malt whisky, an expression finished in Rioja wine casks.
According to the spirits business,
The new Filey Bay STR Finish follows the release of the first and second batch of the English distillery’s inaugural single malt, and its first Sherry cask-finished whisky.
David Thompson, co-founder of Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery, said: “Although we haven’t been open for visitors during lockdown, the distillery has been operating as normal and we have been able to distil, nose and sample our whisky safely.
“Distilled in 2016, Filey Bay STR Finish is a field-to-bottle single malt that spent years maturing in Bourbon casks before transferring to shaved, toasted and re-charred (STR) red wine barriques, which came from Rioja vineyards in Spain, to be finished.”
