Distillery resumes its guided tours, with adaptations

A whisky distillery in Hunmanby is reopening for guided tours.

The team at Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery, home to Filey Bay single malt whisky, have adapted their tours and the distillery layout to allow for social distancing and safety measures so they can reopen from July 13. Co-founder and Managing Director David Thompson said: “We are delighted to be able to share the distillery with visitors once more.

“Although we continued distilling during lockdown, it’s not the same without people!

“We have introduced lots of special measures to keep people safe, including mandatory booking, limiting the number of people per tour, collecting visitors from their cars and a one-way system that allows us to give a full tour, including tasting samples or ‘Drivers’ Drams’ at the end.” The coffee shop remains closed for now.
