Tasting Notes
Filey Bay Double Oak #1 is an absolute treat for whisky enthusiasts who appreciate a delicate balance of flavors. It's a true masterpiece from the Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery, showcasing their exceptional craftsmanship. The initial maturation in first-fill bourbon casks lends a rich caramel essence, while the finishing touch in virgin oak casks from Kentucky infuses it with a captivating oakiness. Upon nosing, you're greeted by the enticing aroma of buttered scones with hints of grassy barley. The palate is a delightful symphony of soft, creamy malt intertwined with smooth vanilla, buttery oak, and notes of ripe banana. As you savor each sip, delicate oaken spice unfolds, accompanied by toasty sawdust and grilled pineapple nuances. The finish is a lingering delight, wrapping up with more soft, creamy vanilla, hints of crumbly fudge, toffee popcorn, and a delightful fruit salad essence. This whisky's elegant, silky texture and bright notes of banana and creamy vanilla make it a true standout, leaving a lasting impression on your taste buds.
