Spirit of Yorkshire’s Distillery Projects 003 is a limited edition maturing malt and offers a taste of the maturing casks at the Hunmanby site.

Spirit of Yorkshire whisky director Joe Clark said: “The Distillery Projects series evolved from positive feedback to samples of the maturing malt that visitors enjoyed when touring the distillery.

“Originally, I wanted to focus on our Bourbon cask matured spirit for DP003, but after discovering an incredible PX Sherry cask filled in November 2016, the release moved in a different direction.

“Overall, 003 comes in richer and fuller than 002, but less spicy and wood driven than 001.”

The Distillery Projects 003, 46% ABV, is limited to 2,000 individually numbered 70cl bottles. The release is priced at £39.95 and can be pre-ordered through the website (www.spiritofyorkshire.com) or from the distillery shop.
