Yorkshire whisky, matured the stubborn way

From the Still

How we make it

Our rye is the most decorated spirit we make, and it spends its maturation in highly charred and toasted European oak. That char is doing real work. It caramelises the wood sugars just beneath the barrel's surface, and every month in cask pulls more vanilla, burnt caramel and cocoa nibs out of the timber and into the spirit. That patience is what earned it Gold and Small Batch Rye of the Year at the London Spirits Competition.

The single grain takes a gentler path: floral, citrus-bright, with almonds and red fruit. Our single malt is the newest arrival, distilled from Golden Promise malted barley. Honeyed, softly smoked, and worth the wait. All three start from grain grown within fifty miles of the distillery, malted the traditional way, then cut with limestone water from our own 1,000-foot well.

Between them, the range has picked up gold, silver and 90-plus-point ratings from the London Spirits Competition, the World Whisky Masters and USA Spirits Ratings. See the full haul on our awards page.
