The Spirit of Yorkshire distillery was founded by friends David Thompson and Tom Mellor in 2016, with the distillery’s stillhouse located in the village of Hunmanby near Filey Bay on the coast of North Yorkshire, while the mash tun and washbacks are located at Mellor’s famous Wold Top Brewery nearby. Spirit of Yorkshire is Yorkshire’s first ever legal single malt whisky distillery, and practices the best of Scottish traditions in whisky-making.
