Yorkshire's first single malt whisky distillery has bottled a rare single cask in response to a request from premium independent grocers, Booths.
Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery, home to Filey Bay single malt whisky, was invited to select and bottle a single cask whisky to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the fifth generation family grocers.
Cask#175 was one of only three Pedro Ximenez (PX) Spanish sherry butts that were filled in the Hunmanby distillery's first year of production in 2016 - making it one of the oldest Filey Bay releases to date. Having spent hours in the warehouse nosing and tasting cask samples, whisky director Joe Clark concluded that Cask#175 was not only fitting, but also answered Booths' brief for a very special whisky.
