Die Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery erweitert ihre Range um eine neue und limitierte Double Oak Abfüllung: der Filey Bay Double Oak #2 ist ein mit 46% vol. Alkoholstärke abgefüllter Single Malt der zunächst in ex-Bourbon Casks reifte und dann ein Finish in neuen und leicht ausgekohlten Eichenfässern erhielt.
Kommentar des Whisky Director, Joe Clark, meinte dazu:
These special casks imbue our whisky with some really amazing and exciting flavours, pronounced fruity notes and soft, sweet, nutty, bread-like flavours. Double Oak #1 was exceptionally well received and I’ve no doubt that Double Oak #2 will be too.
From a selection of over 100 ex-bourbon casks laid down in 2018, only a handful were selected for re-racking. I was looking for key characteristics that would work well with the virgin oak casks – light and fresh with elevated malty and creamy profiles and with fewer spicy notes. After assembling a beautiful batch of whisky, this was then reduced in strength to 50% ABV and racked into brand new virgin white oak casks from Kentucky.
In UK ist der neue Filey Bay Double Oak #2 in einer Auflage von 2000 Flaschen um je 75 Pfund erhältlich.
