The Filey Bay Port Finish is the first release from the Spirit of Yorkshire distillery, bringing an added layer of sweetness and spice to their bourbon-matured whisky. Initially matured in ex-bourbon casks filled in mid-2017, this whisky was transferred to fresh ex-Ruby Port wine casks at the end of 2020. Ruby Port, known for its fresh fruit character, is harder to obtain than the heavier Tawny variety. Limited to only 3,300 bottles, this unique whisky is bottled at 46% ABV in a 700ml size. This Yorkshire single malt is a harmonious blend of fruity and spicy notes, matured initially in ex-bourbon casks and finished in small batch ex-Ruby Port casks. The Ruby Port casks impart layers of blackberry jam, orange peel, raspberries, and dark chocolate, which intertwine with Filey Bay's classic notes of vanilla, black pepper, and warming oak spice on the palate. Filey Bay Port Finish offers complex notes of blackberry jam, dark chocolate, and vanilla, combined with a spicy and fruity character from the Ruby Port casks. This unique creation from the Spirit of Yorkshire distillery perfectly marries the classic bourbon-matured house style with the vibrant, fruity, and spicy influence of Ruby Port casks. Ideal for those who enjoy a fruity and spicy profile, this rare whisky is a must-try for enthusiasts.
