Description
Filey Bay is the first single malt whisky made in, and of, Yorkshire. Why 'of Yorkshire'? Because it's created by us from field to bottle, here on the coast.
The next step of our Double Oak Special Release series, Filey Bay Double Oak #2 marries together our two distillate styles and is matured in a unique combination of select ex-Bourbon and Virgin Oak casks.
Double Oak #1 was awarded a coveted World Whisky Master in 2022; we’re extremely excited to share this next release with you.
he virgin oak brings fruity and spicy notes, whilst the ex-bourbon casks balance this with vanilla and toffee flavours. The selection process started with our Whisky Director Joe Clark sampling a cross-section of 100 first-fill ex-bourbon casks. A handful of these were re-racked at 50% into Virgin Oak casks, and regularly nosed and tasted for 13 months.
In June 2016, we ran the stills for the first time and filled our first casks. Filey Bay First Release was bottled in September 2019 and since then Filey Bay has grown and prospered.
