About Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery
Founded in 2016 in the coastal village of Hunmanby, Spirit of Yorkshire became the first distillery in Yorkshire to sell single malt whisky in 2019. Their philosophy of "field to bottle" production ensures complete control over quality while supporting local Yorkshire agriculture. The distillery overlooks Filey Bay, where the North Sea coastal environment contributes to the unique character of their whiskies.
Understanding English Whisky
English whisky is one of the world's fastest-growing whisky categories, with over 60 active distilleries across England. Unlike Scotch whisky, English whisky isn't bound by traditional regional restrictions, allowing for innovative approaches to production. Filey Bay Flagship showcases how English distillers can create world-class single malts that rival traditional whisky regions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes Filey Bay Flagship different from Scottish whisky?
A: Filey Bay Flagship is made with 100% Yorkshire-grown barley and benefits from England's warmer climate, which can accelerate maturation. The coastal Yorkshire location also provides unique environmental influences.
Q: Is Filey Bay Flagship suitable for beginners to whisky?
A: Absolutely. The light, fruity, and approachable character makes Filey Bay Flagship an excellent introduction to single malt whisky, while offering enough complexity for experienced drinkers.
Q: How does Filey Bay Flagship compare to bourbon?
A: While matured in ex-bourbon casks, this whisky is distinctly different from American bourbon. It's lighter, more delicate, with prominent fruit and floral notes rather than corn sweetness.
Q: What's the shelf life once opened?
A: Whisky doesn't spoil. Once opened, store upright away from direct sunlight and heat. Quality remains excellent for several years.
