Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery, Filey Bay, Peated Finish, Batch #1, Single Malt Whisky, England (46%)
- World Whisky
Description
As ever at this impeccable distillery, barley is to the fore, reminding us of the last warm days of early autumn. A short period of maturation in casks that previously held heavily-peated whisky has given a winsome lick of smoke as if to signal the turn of the seasons.

About this spirit
Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery
Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
