About the distillery
Yorkshire's first ever single malt whisky distillery. Based in Hunmanby, near Scarborough, North Yorkshire. Partnered with the Woldtop Brewery Co., this distillery has been producing single malt since 2016. From the barley grown on their farm and the water off their estate they make a single malt. For that, they use oil fired Forsyth Stills. The spirit still is 3,500 litres while the wash still is 5,000 litres with which they aim to produce 80,000 litres per annum. Their single malt whisky is bottled since 2019 under the Filey Bay label. Like many of the other distillery that used the consultancy of the late Jim Swan, the company offers STR expression.
