The 46% vol limited edition malt whisky promises a marriage of the distillery’s unique distillate styles matured in both first-fill ex-PX and ex-Moscatel Sherry Hogshead casks. The result is a fruity and complex whisky with flavours of dark brown sugar, marmalade, currants, walnuts and festive spices.
Spirit of Yorkshire whisky director Joe Clark said: “This year’s release balances the best of our distillery character with some of our rarest maturing stocks of ex-sherry casks.
“The ex-Moscatel casks bring a brighter character along with a subtle creaminess, while the ex-Pedro Ximenez brings richness, dried fruits, and festive flavours that are much loved in this style of whisky, especially at this time of year.”

“Like the previous releases of our Sherry Cask Reserve and all our Special Releases, this whisky represents some of our very best, oldest and rarest whisky and shows an altogether different side to our whisky that you don’t see in the rest of our range.
“This whisky is always a highlight in our release calendar for all of us at the distillery and is the perfect bottle to crack open as the nights draw in and autumn slowly drifts into winter.”
Limited to 2,000 bottles, the whisky costs £85 and is available online at spiritofyorkshire.com, from the distillery shop and from specialist retailers nationwide. It will also be on sale at the York St. Nicholas’ Christmas Market from November 14 to December 22.
