Enjoying: Field to Bottle to... mountain?! - Spirit Of Yorkshire

We have some very dedicated friends of the distillery!

Recently our bottles have been to the top of the three Yorkshire Peaks alongside cheese pairings from one of our local favourites Shepherds Purse (thanks Matt, that’s dedication) and on Yorkshire Day, Chris ran a bottle of Filey Bay STR Finish to the top of Scafell Pike.

Where next…?!

Filey Bay Yorkshire Day 2020 paired with Shepherds Purse’s Yorkshire Blue – the perfect refreshment for the top of Ingleborough in the sunshine.

A true piece of Yorkshire history: the first ever ten-year-old Yorkshire single malt whisky.

Open post by spiritofyorkshire with ID 18107600023945240

14th June 2016. That was the day this bung was hammered into Cask 001.

Today, we took it out for the very first time. To stand in the warehouse and taste the first-ever 10-year-old single malt whisky made in Yorkshire is an absolute privilege. It’s hard to put into words what this moment means to the whole team.

An amazing first, and a beautiful milestone to be a part of. Cheers to a decade of distilling.

Exactly ten years ago today, history was made here in Yorkshire.

It all goes back to a conversation in 2011. Best friends Tom and Dave were chatting over a pint: "We've got barley on the farm, we've got our own water, and we already make great beer." Whisky was the next logical step.

Five years of hard work later, on the 14th June 2016, Co-Founders David Thompson and Tom Mellor officially filled our first ever cask of new make spirit.

That first cask paved the way for the Filey Bay single malt we are so proud to share with you today.

We have a lot more to share about Cask 001 next week, so stay tuned. Have a great Sunday, and we hope you are raising a dram with us today!
