Tasting Notes: Filey Bay – Flagship

February 11, 2021February 11, 2021Leave a comment

Yorkshire conjures up many memories and mental images for me. A fiercely proud group of people who love their home and anything made from within God’s Own Country.

Amongst its well-documented achievements, the county offers food and drinks … Continue reading Tasting Notes: Filey Bay – Flagship

That’s until the team at Wolfburn set up shop in Thurso, and took that title for themselves with their first production in 2013 and inaugural release in 2016.

Shining bright in my kitchen this week. Enjoying this drop - well worth the punt
The chunky stopper that comes between me and some @bladnochwhisky 10yo. Love the details that have gone into every part of the packaging as well as the whisky itself
Have been really enjoying this bottle since Spring finally sprung. Good malt to go with the season. Fantastic bold @bladnochwhisky bottle and branding too. Am a bit in love.
