Spirit of Yorkshire Filey Bay Port Cask Finish Batch #1 Single Malt Whisky
Out of stock
Filey Bay Port Finish Batch #1 spent its first maturation in ex-Bourbon casks (filled mid 2017) before being re-racked into fresh ex-Ruby port casks in late 2020. Bright and light, Ruby Port uses more fresh fruit than the heavier richer better-known Tawny, and the casks are notoriously hard to source. This release is a much smaller batch than the other Filey Bay releases, with only 3300 bottles available.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright amber with a warm copper glow and a subtle ruby-red tint.
Nose
Bright and fruit-forward, the nose releases ripe red berries—raspberry, strawberry and cherry—fed by ruby port sweetness. Subtle vanilla and toasted almond from the bourbon cask mingle with a whisper of cocoa and spice, creating a polished, luminous aroma that hints at summer fruit and elegant depth.
Palate
Bright, fruit-forward on the palate, with succulent strawberry, raspberry and cherry, unfolding into plum and blackberry. Ruby port influence brings a lifted sweetness, while vanilla, light oak and a whisper of spice keep it poised. Clean, approachable finish with lingering berry hints and a gentle warmth.
Finish
Bright, red-fruit finish with ruby Port sweetness carrying strawberry and cherry notes, softened by silky oak and a whisper of spice. The light, uplifting tail lingers with a delicate, refined warmth.
