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.
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.
STR casks are ex-Red Wine barriques that have been shaved, toasted and recharred to soften the red wine tannins in the wood and stop it overpowering the whisky. This process takes the citrus and caramel flavours from the bourbon casks and weaves them with the red fruits of the Rioja barriques, creating complex whiskies with spice and depth that are also light and floral.
Tasting notes:
- Light
- Floral & Fruity
- Flavours of red fruits, vanilla ice cream and toasted oak.
