Spirit of Yorkshire Filey Bay Moscatel Sherry Cask Single Malt Whisky
In stock
Elegant Spanish sweetness meets spirited Yorkshire character as the distillery’s light and fruity style matures in ex-Moscatel Sherry hogsheads.
While sherries such as Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso are well known in single malt maturation, Moscatel is far more rare and unusual. Moscatel grapes are noted for their floral aromas, thriving in sandy soils with vineyards situated close to the beaches of Spain’s sherry region – an ideal match for Filey Bay whisky, made on the Yorkshire Coast.
The whisky is produced using the distillery’s unique solera-style approach, more accurately described as a fractional blending method. Each time Filey Bay Moscatel Sherry Cask is bottled, it is replaced with older casks carefully selected from the warehouse. This maintains a consistent flavour profile while allowing the whisky to gain age, depth, and complexity. It is a true reflection of the distillery’s character as it matures.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright golden honey with warm amber depth and a sunlit, inviting gleam.
Nose
Floral Moscatel perfume—orange blossom, honeysuckle and jasmine—rises with sun-kissed grape nectar. Subtle dried-fruit notes of apricot and raisin mingle with almond and a vanilla-soft oak sheen, hinting at sherry sweetness. Light, perfumed and inviting, it speaks of elegance and a bright, fruity Yorkshire character.
Palate
Delicate, honeyed sweetness from Moscatel envelopes a bright, coastal whisky core. Citrus zest and white peach mingle with floral notes, framed by rich sherry-tinged almond and vanilla. Subtle spice and a creamy, maritime warmth glide into a persistent, balanced finish that echoes the Moscatel’s sweetness with Yorkshire’s crisp, fruity lift.
Finish
Silky and persistent, the finish unfurls with delicate Moscatel floral sweetness—orange blossom, apricot and honey—woven with gentle Sherry spice and a kiss of oak. It lingers with coastal brightness, a hint of citrus zest and subtle warmth that invites the next sip.
