Filey Bay Double Oak Batch #2 is a distinctive English single malt whisky crafted at the Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery, located near the dramatic coastline of Filey Bay. This limited release showcases the distillery’s signature house style while highlighting the influence of carefully selected oak casks.
 
This expression marries together two distillate styles and is matured in a combination of first-fill ex-bourbon casks and virgin oak barrels. The process began with Whisky Director Joe Clark sampling around 100 first-fill bourbon casks, selecting only the finest examples. A select number of these casks were then re-racked into virgin oak barrels at 50% ABV, where they matured for a further 13 months, developing additional layers of complexity.
 
The influence of Virgin Oak introduces vibrant spice and fruity character, while the ex-bourbon casks add smooth notes of vanilla and toffee. The result is a beautifully balanced whisky that remains approachable while offering depth and warmth.
 
The name Filey Bay reflects the distillery’s close connection to its surroundings. From the distillery windows, the sweeping curve of the bay and the North Sea are visible, a constant reminder of the Yorkshire landscape that inspires the whiskey. The bespoke bottle design mirrors this connection to nature, reflecting textures of farm, soil, beach, and sky, with the hidden message underneath proudly declaring, "Proudly Made of Yorkshire.”
