Yorkshire distillery launches third batch of a single malt whisky with a peated finish

The team at Yorkshire's first single malt whisky distillery have launched their latest bottling.

Filey Bay Peated Finish Batch single 3 malt whisky is Hunmanby-based Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery's third iteration of a peated whisky.

"Filey Bay Peated Finish Batch 2 won an incredible World Whisky Spirits Master award last year and we're very pleased to have the next step now with Filey Bay Peated Finish Batch 3. This bottling is a much-anticipated follow-up to last year's batch and adds a subtle sweet smokiness with coastal, citrus and caramel notes to our light and fruity signature whisky," said Spirit of Yorkshire Whisky Director, Joe Clark.

"Primarily matured in first-fill bourbon casks before a secondary maturation in specially selected ex-peated casks, this very special whisky brings a taste of the west coast of Scotland to the east coast of Yorkshire.

"As a distillery, we are passionate about pushing the boundaries of whisky making, which is why we are always experimenting with different casks to finish our whisky in. We've had people asking for the return of Peated Finish ever since Batch 2 sold out, so we're delighted to launch Batch 3."

Filey Bay Peated Finish Batch 3, 46% ABV, costs £65 and is available from the distillery shop, online at spiritofyorkshire.com and from selected specialist retailers nationwide.

Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery is Yorkshire's first single malt whisky distillery and is one of only a handful of distilleries that grows 100% of the barley used for whisky production.
