The Spirit Of Yorkshire Distillery is located in Humanby near Filey in East Yorkshire.
History
In 2016 farmer and brewer Tom Mellor from Wold Top Brewery and his business partner David Thompson collaborated to create a sustainable whisky distillery.
Spirit of Yorkshire are a field to bottle distillery, all of their barley is grown on their 600 acre farm high in the Yorkshire Wolds which has been in the family for generations . The barley is malted in nearby Bridlington and has been used in their brewery to brew award winning Wold Top's Beers since 2003. But since 2016 some of the wash has been used, just down the road, in their new distillery to make whisky.
