The team at Yorkshire's first single malt whisky distillery is celebrating its success in a prestigious world whisky competition.
Eight of Hunmanby-based Spirit of Yorkshire's Filey Bay single malt whiskies were awarded medals, including two coveted Masters medals, five golds and a silver, at the 2022 World Whisky Masters Competition recently.
Masters were awarded for Filey Bay Special Release Double Oak #1 and Filey Bay Peated Finish Batch #2. Judge Sara Jane Eichler described the former as ‘Wonderfully grapey, musty floral nose - rich and complex, with fruit and floral overlayed by a sheet of honeyed caramel,’ and the latter was deemed master-worthy due to its ‘toasty smoke and toasted oak, root vegetable, dark chocolate, but zesty at the same time with a balanced finish.’
