Filey Bay 2016 - STR Finish

English Single Malt Whisky
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 46.0%

Filey Bay 2016 STR Finish is an English single malt whisky from the splendid Spirit of Yorkshire distillery. 

Distilled in 2016 and bottled in 2020 without colouring or chill filtration at a good drinking strength of 46%, Filey Bay STR Finish English whisky was initially matured in ex-bourbon casks before being finished in special Shaved, Toasted & Recharred (STR) Rioja red wine barrique casks, notably deepening the whisky's colour and adding notes of red berries and other floral fruitiness to the palate.

Tasting Notes

Light, floral and fruity with notes of summer berries, vanilla ice cream, orange chocolate and toasted oak.

“Filey Bay STR Finish is totally different from anything we’ve released so far. It takes the citrus and caramel flavours from the bourbon casks and weaves them with the red fruits of the Rioja barriques, creating a complex whisky with spice and depth that’s also light and floral.”
