Description

This Limited Edition Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery Projects 005 is from a Single STR Cask #109. A limited Edition of only 544 (50cl) bottles filled in October 2016 and bottled in June 2019 and is a 100% pot-distilled spirit. It’s a wine barrique with a 220L capacity (which is relatively small, meaning that they only got 544 x 50cl bottles from this cask) and it’s a ‘first fill’ cask, which means that the spirit is the first to fill it since the wine left.

The cask held Rioja wine for five years. Once the wine was disgorged, the cask was reconditioned by some of the best coopers in Jerez, by shaving, toasting and re-charring (STR) which meant that it retained much of the fruit-driven flavours from the wine but also allowed sweetness and spice from the oak to keep shining through. This has led to a cask that delivers a really beautiful and balanced maturation, giving lots of flavour but not overwhelming the character of the spirit. The use of this kind of cask was pioneered by the late Dr. Jim Swan, Spirit of Yorkshires consultant and mentor, giving it an extra poignancy.
