Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery, Filey Bay, IPA Finish, Batch #2, Single Malt Whisky, England (46%)

As farmers, brewers, and distillers, Filey Bay have crafted a unique and delicious single malt from field to bottle. All the barley is grown on the family farm in Hunmanby, whilst the water is from two sources sunk deep into the Yorkshire chalk bedrock. This fine whisky is even matured in its own ex-IPA casks. It's bright amber gold in hue, with a taste profile that includes biscuity overtones, notes of orchard fruits, pear drops, sponge cake, and those all-important hops. This unique combination of flavours is a delight for the senses. Delicious with a bowl of mixed nuts, ideally heavy on the cashews.
