Introducing The Whisky Shop Exclusive: Filey Bay Ex-PX Sherry Single Cask #3521. Available online and in store, with limited stock available across all The Whisky Shop locations in England only.
This cask was hand picked by The Whisky Shop York Manager, Christopher Dunn in February this year. Here is what he had to say.
“It was a fantastic day! I spent a lot of time with Joe the whisky maker talking about the business and the flavour profiles of each sample, carefully considering what the customer or collector would be looking for from a single cask Filey Bay.
There were at least three serious contenders from the casks I tried, but all were dangerously tasty and easy to drink considering we were tasting at a chilly 5 degrees celsius.
We settled on a crowd pleaser; a big, bold, fruity PX sherry cask influence that plays nicely with the Spirit of Yorkshire’s bright citrusy character, so it’s not just a sticky toffee pud of a dram, but nuanced and tropical, with loads of aromatic spice.
Finally. it was lovely spending the day with SoY’s Sales Manager Morgan, who has been integral to our close relationship with the brand. I took over as manager here not long after Spirit of Yorkshire had started being stocked in the York shop and so I have worked with him for more than four years.
This single cask is symbolic of the work we’ve both done for the brand in that time as much as it is product of Joe’s expertise – himself an ex employee of The Whisky Shop York!” – Chris Dunn, The Whisky Shop, York
“The Whisky Shop has consistently helped the whole whisky industry for decades. The work they do to introduce thousands of people to the incredible world of whisky through their shops is nothing short of remarkable and is arguably more important for our industry now than ever before.Our single cask bottlings represent the rarest and most spectacular casks in our warehouse, with only a handful of these beautiful ex-Pedro Ximenez casks ever being bottled by us.This is a whisky that, purely from a flavour point of view, gets all of us very excited, but to bottle this whisky exclusively for The Whisky Shop in our tenth year of production and in celebration of a brilliant relationship is something we are immensely proud of. A unique and truly delicious Filey Bay single cask whisky for one of the UK’s best whisky retailers, these bottles are very unlikely to be around for long” – Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery, Whisky Director – Joe Clark
Tasting Notes: Fully matured in ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry cask #3521, this dram is rich, soft and spicy with flavours of dried fruit, dark chocolate, caramel and toasted oak. Bottled at cask strength.
