Spirit of Yorkshire - Maturing Malt 003

Spirit of Yorkshire – Maturing Malt (Distillery Projects 003) is a limited “distillery journey” release from Yorkshire’s first ever single malt whisky distillery, based near Filey Bay in England. Part of the Distillery Projects series, this bottling sits in the lead-up to their full single malt releases and offers a snapshot of the spirit’s development as it matures. With the distillery controlling the process from barley selection and farming through to distillation and bottling, it’s a great bottle for collectors who like provenance, progress releases, and early chapters from modern British distilleries.
