Enjoying: Filey Bay No1 English Single Malt in Sweden

By Steve Marson / February 20th, 20240 comments

After just two months on sale, Filey Bay Flagship is officially the No1 English single malt whisky in Sweden, 2023.

Co-founder and MD, David Thompson added: “After such a short time on sale in Sweden, it is fantastic to know that a little piece of Yorkshire has been so well received ”

“It’s very rewarding to know that the character and maturity of our spirit is generating major excitement in the industry.”

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.

Filey Bay 'The First 10 Year Old'

Let’s take a closer look at the whisky itself.

Ex-Bourbon Cask #45 is one of the earliest casks we ever laid down, filled back in July 2016. David and Tom were on the stills and filling casks that summer, working with the keen guidance of the Dr. Jim Swan, who was so integral to our early years.

Now bottled at cask strength, the spirit is beautifully light, fruity, and complex, with flavours of barley sugar, biscuit, citrus, and caramel.

This 10-year-old release is only available as part of our ‘Decade of Distilling’ Masterclass at Open Weekend 2026. Your masterclass ticket also includes your full Open Weekend entry and everything that goes with it.

"It was a straight-forward decision for us to help out a fellow distillery in need, especially a neighbour. Although it’s rare to see an open collaboration, it’s not surprising to us - behind the scenes this industry is one of the most collegiate and cooperative in the world, it’s time we showed that side to whisky drinkers"

David Thompson, Spirit of Yorkshire Distiller Co-Founder.
