This 9-year-old Spirit of Yorkshire from Berry Bros. & Rudd brings an English single malt to the Auld & Bold range — a category that has gained significant quality and confidence in just a few years. With an alcohol percentage of 57.1%, this bottling has power and presence, and its Yorkshire origin adds an extra dimension to a series that typically presents Scotch single malts.
Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery, better known as Filey Bay, is located on the North Yorkshire Coast and produces single malt that leans heavily on the agricultural traditions of the region — including home-grown grain from neighboring farms. In a short time, the distillery has built a reputation for expressive, fruit-forward whisky with a distinctly English character. Berry Bros. & Rudd, with its long experience in selecting exceptional casks, adds a refined choice to this.
The whisky underwent a Moscatel cask finish in cask 2231, which further accentuates the fruity character of the spirit with a sweet, vinous maturity. The 2017/2026 designation gives this a clear timeframe as part of the Auld & Bold 2026 collection.
A whisky for lovers of fruit-forward, succulent single malt who like to hear an English voice alongside the Scotch classics. Vibrant, expressive, and surprisingly complex for its age.
