Spirit of Yorkshire are creating Yorkshire’s first single malt whisky. Obsessed with every step of the distilling process from grain to glass and mentored by renowned whisky expert Dr. Jim Swan, their instinctive approach is to create a whisky that doesn’t just replicate Scotch.

Locally and sustainably produced, all the barley and spring water they use is grown and sourced on the family farm. These are the same ingredients that go into the Great Taste Award winning beers at the Wold Top Brewery.

Spirit of Yorkshire’s expert guides will tell you all about this age-old, hands-on process that is part science, part patience and part instinct. And you'll also get the chance to try some of the spirit that matures in 2019.

An introduction in to the Spirit Of Yorkshire and its founders in the Distillery Boardroom. Also, an up close and a detailed description of the distilling process alongside some of the largest Copper Pot Stills in England. See how the unique choice of casks will influence the Maturing Spirit over the years as it evolves into Yorkshire's First Single Malt Whisky.
