Filey Bay IPA Finish Batch #2 Yorkshire Whisky - 46% 70cl

Filey Bay IPA Finish has a somewhat convoluted process to get to bottle, but it exemplifies the close connection between the distillery and it’s sister brewery.

Ex-Bourbon barrels that had previously held Filey Bay Flagship Single Malt whisky were then filled with Wold Top’s Scarborough Fair IPA beer, to rest in cask for around 9 months.

To the teams initial surprise, the beer went into cask at an ABV of 5.1% but came out at a higher strength of 9.6% - you can find these higher strength beers bottled as Barrel Wave IPA.

On the very same day the beer was disgorged from the casks, whisky aged around five to five-and-a-half years old in the case of this 2^nd batch - that otherwise would have become Flagship Single Malt – was refilled into them and left for around 6 months to marry the influence of the ale in the wood.

As with Batch #1, there is no designated number of bottles in the release, and it is bottled at 46% ABV.
