Filey Bay Moscatel Finish is back, in it's fourth batch iteration. Soft and fruity, it takes the distillery style and adds sweeter orange notes.
What makes it special for Filey Bay? Whilst sherries like Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso are well known in single malt whisky maturation, Moscatel is much more rare and unusual.
Moscatel grapes are known for floral aromas (orange blossom, jasmine and honeysuckle) as well as citric notes like lime and grapefruit.
The grapes thrive in sandy soil and Moscatel vineyards are close to the beaches in the sherry region of Spain – making it a perfect match for our Filey Bay whisky, made here on the Yorkshire Coast.
"The use of bourbon casks followed by Moscatel barrels to finish creates a really interesting flavourful whisky. Light and creamy like Flagship, but with more layers of fruit and sweet spices." - Joe Clark, Whisky Director
