Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery

Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery is Yorkshire's first whisky distillery, producing single malt whisky from field to bottle in Hunmanby, near Filey on the Yorkshire Coast. With a commitment to tradition and regional identity, the distillery's first new make entered casks in Spring 2016, leading to the launch of Filey Bay Yorkshire Single Malt Whisky in October 2019, a significant milestone as the first single malt whisky both made in and of Yorkshire. The company's unique approach includes farming its own barley, using water from its farm, and employing a distinctive distilling process involving both column and pot stills, resulting in a recognizable regional style.

Visitors are offered tours of the distillery, and the Pot Still Coffee Shop provides a cozy setting with views of the stills, homemade cakes, and locally sourced coffee, tea, and beer. The company also emphasizes career opportunities and encourages engagement through its monthly newsletter for product launches and pre-orders. As a player in the E-Commerce and Food and Beverage industries, Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery presents a distinctive regional offering that champions tradition while embracing innovation.

Founded in 2011, the company's commitment to quality and regional identity positions it as an intriguing prospect for potential venture capital investment in the evolving craft spirits market.
