About this SPIRIT
Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery
The Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery is an artisanal whisky distillery located in Hunmanby, near the North Yorkshire coast in England. Established in 2016, it is known for its dedication to crafting high-quality single-malt whisky, focusing on local ingredients and traditional methods.
The distillery is particularly noteworthy for its commitment to the “field-to-bottle” philosophy, meaning it oversees the entire whisky production process, from growing its own barley to distillation and maturation. This emphasis on using locally sourced barley reflects a connection to the region’s terroir, giving their whiskies a distinct character.
One of the key features of the distillery is its copper pot stills, where the spirit is carefully distilled to achieve the desired flavours and aromas. Additionally, they utilise a variety of cask types for maturation, contributing to the complexity and depth of their whiskies.

Description
The spirit was poured into first-fill ex-bourbon wood in February 2017, then re-racked for two and a half years into rich Pedro Ximénez wood. As with many bottlings from this brilliant distillery, the joy here is the interplay between cask and barley. Unlike most whisky-makers, our friends at Spirit of Yorkshire grow all their own barley and take an immense pride in doing so. Starting from such impeccable raw material in any endeavour gives the greatest chance of success. Here, paired with a potentially domineering ex PedroXiménez Sherry cask, the rich, oily, grain sweetness is a delight. A scant few drops of water release even more sweetness alongside the opulent spice.
