A Closer Look: Filey Bay Flagship Marrying Strength
Our Flagship whisky, but with the dial turned up. Bottled at ‘marrying strength’, this is like seeing our Flagship live on stage and you’re standing in the front row.
Introducing Filey Bay Flagship Marrying Strength.
What is marrying strength? Its a term we use behind the scenes all the time at our distillery, but perhaps not a term most whisky-loving folk would know. Sitting between cask strength (usually 57-60% straight from the cask) and bottling strength (usually 45-48% for us), we have marrying strength.
Before bottling and final reduction of our classic Flagship to its bottling strength at 46%, it spends long periods of time at what we affectionately know as marrying strength, allowing the whisky to harmonise, a gentle and controlled slow reduction as we take it down from cask strength to bottling strength
Filey Bay Flagship Marrying Strength is available now from our website, distillery shop and selected specialist retailers across the UK and europe. bottled at 50.1% abv.
