In-depth tour and tasting insight launched at Spirit distillery
The team behind Yorkshire's first single malt whisky have introduced a weekly in-depth distillery tour and tasting experience. Hunmanby-based Spirit of Yorkshire has replaced one of its Friday afternoon tours with a distillery tour and deep dive tasting that gives visitors a detailed insight into Filey Bay's field-to-bottle whisky production and a tasting tutorial.
"We'll walk you through the still house, detailing the process behind our single malt whisky, before settling in for an indepth tasting.
"Alongside our latest releases, we will share exclusive drams from single cask releases, to freshly drawn cask samples that are only available to try in these sessions.
“These deep dive tastings are very special as no two events will ever be exactly the same.
"They make a great gift for a whisky fan," said Amy Teasdale, Spirit of Yorkshire brand ambassador.
The Distillery Tour and Deep Dive Tasting events take place every Friday at 3pm.
Tickets include the tour, five drams and Filey Bay merchandise to take away.
They can be booked online at spiritofyorkshire.com or by calling the distillery on 01723 891758. Bespoke gift vouchers are also available.
