Yorkshire whisky distillery releases a fifth limited edition whisky for Yorkshire Day
The team at Yorkshire's first single malt whisky distillery, Spirit of Yorkshire, will launch a limited edition special release whisky to celebrate Yorkshire Day at its forthcoming Open Weekend.
Filey Bay Yorkshire Day 2025 Special Release is the fifth bottling in a limited run of releases that are launched annually to celebrate the iconic day.
Spirit of Yorkshire's whisky director, Joe Clark, is excited about the launch: "This year's Yorkshire Day Special Release is indeed special, as ithas been drawn from ex-Cream Sherry Hogsheads. While Cream Sherry is one of the most familiar styles of sherry here in the UK, it's one of the most overlooked when it comes to whisky maturation.
"Made by blending dry and sweet sherries before being matured in oak, these casks offer something truly intriguing. The result in this release is a whisky layered with rich complexity, classic sherry character, like dried fruits and soft spice, but with a rounded sweetness and depth that only Cream Sherry can bring.With only 1500 bottles available, Filey Bay Yorkshire Day 2025 is one of our most unique whisky releases to date, and it will likely sell out quickly."
Filey Bay Yorkshire Day 2025, 55% abv, is described as ‘rich and fruity with flavours of apricot jam, fudge, cinder toffee, hazelnuts and orange zest'. Itfeatures a cut-away carton that showcases the whisky's bespoke embossed bottle and the colour of the spirit whilst detailing the story of the Yorkshire farm distillery's journey.
Launching at the distillery's Open Weekend on 26thand 27thJuly, it costs £95 and will be available from the distillery shop and online at spiritofyorkshire.com. It will also be available from specialist independent retailers and selected whisky bars after the Open Weekend.
Spirit of Yorkshireis a true field-to-bottle distillery and one of only a few that uses 100% homegrown barley to produce its single malt whisky, which is available throughout the UK and in a growing number of export markets.
