Spirit of Yorkshire 2017

Tasting Notes

A delightfully fruity dram from this cult Northern trailblazer, pot distilled, and rested for 9 years a short distance from the North Sea at Filey Bay. The nose opens boldly and wears its heart on its sleeve, with apricot skin, raspberry jam, orange oils and ripe pineapple. Peach flesh softens the edges, while beneath it run darker threads of honey, ginger and a light dusting of chocolate. It's lively, expressive, just a touch flamboyant, but never flashy for its own sake. Cut with care, confident in just how much to reveal, and how to carry it well.

Distillery Information

The Distillery lies above the gently rolling barley fields of the Yorkshire Wolds – a landscape of the juicy barley grains and rich biodiversity, which showcase the fertility of this beautiful area. This family-owned distillery proudly grows all their own grain and, using the finest Scottish Forsyth stills, has been making sweet, soft Single Malt since 2016. A malt with purpose and idiosyncratic style, lovingly exemplifying Yorkshire’s spirit.
