Over the last few years, four ex-orange wine barriques have been happily maturing for this deliciously different special release. But this isn’t the usual skin contact Orange Wine.
'Vino Naranja del Condado de Huelva' comes from a specific part of Spain, taking the oranges that the south is famous for. Made in a similar way to other fortified wines but with a key difference: the grape spirit used to fortify the base wine has been aromatised with orange peel before being matured. It's these Orange Wine Barriques that have been used for over three years in this seven-year-old Single Malt Whisky, creating complex layers of orange zest, gingerbread, honey and Yorkshire parkin.
The Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery can be found in the village of Hunmanby just a few miles from Filey Bay on the Yorkshire coast. It’s the county’s first ever Single Malt Whisky producer and they do things properly from grain to glass but definitely their own way. But they did get a little help from the late great Dr Jim Swan a celebrated whisky maker who was described as “the Einstein of whisky” and who was instrumental in setting up a raft of other great distilleries including Nc’nean, Cotswolds Kavalan Penderyn Kilchoman Victoria Caledonian and Milk & Honey. He helped them ensure that they were making something unique that reflected the local area not just a carbon copy of Scotch. The barley is grown in Hunmanby on the family farm so you can’t get much more local and hands on than that. The water is drawn through chalk from deep beneath the Yorkshire Wolds. One of the only things they bring in from outside the county is the oak for which they source the finest barrels from around the world. The bottles are embossed with a gannet a fearless bird that has flourished in this part of Yorkshire. We think that’s kind of fitting because it also perfectly describes the way we hungrily gobble down each new Filey Bay outturn.
