Filey Bay First Release: The Archive Allocation

Matured predominantly in first-fill bourbon casks with a subtle sherry influence, drawn from a selection of just 16 casks laid down in the summer of 2016, exactly a decade ago.

Bottled at 46% abv with a yield of 6,000 bottles, the first ever Filey Bay release caused a huge stir and disappeared almost immediately. Naturally, we kept a handful back in the distillery archives to safely preserve the history.

Filey Bay First Release - Out of the Archive - Celebrating Ten Years of Yorkshire Single Malt

Now, the doors to that archive are open…

We’re releasing a limited amount of these very first bottles, priced at their original price of £55.

This final allocation is available exclusively through our website on a first come first serve basis.

STORY BEHIND

The Name

Our local area is hugely important to us and so naturally it’s where we’ve found the name for our Single Malt: Filey Bay. We see the sea and the curve of the bay from the distillery window. We had lists of names but we just kept coming back to this.
