Filey Bay Flagship
The Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery’s Filey Bay is Yorkshire’s first single malt whisky. A number of varieties are on offer, including Filey Bay STR Finish, Filey Bay Moscatel Finish and the Filey Bay Flagship. Distilled in 2016 and matured in bourbon casks, the field-to-bottle Flagship is made with 100% homegrown barley from the distillery’s farm. The Whisky Unplugged blog describes the Flagship as something “new and exciting” and we fully agree. Light and sweet with tasting hints of syrup and caramel, the flagship whisky from this English distillery is very unique and definitely worth a try.

Look, we hear the arguments against Valentine s Day, and they re fair. Yes, you can discuss the commercialism, and certainly, any relationship that relies on specific days to remind you to show you care probably needs to do a bit of a status check. And of course – being single is great, and Valentine s Day can sometimes feel like an affront to that.
Egan’s Vintage Grain
Originally founded in 1852 in Tullamore, County Offaly, Egan’s Irish Whiskey was resurrected in 2013 by members of the Egan family and today it has the fifth and sixth generation, Maurice and Jonathan Egan, continuing the traditions and legacy.
We tasted two varieties from the Egan’s collection: Fortitude and Vintage Grain. Fortitude, which is the first Irish single malt whiskey to be matured exclusively in Pedro Ximénez casks, is a full fruity number with sherry notes and dried fruit flavours.
Described as an “ideal introduction to Irish whiskey”, Egan’s Vintage Grain is a single grain whiskey which is aged in American oak bourbon barrels for a minimum of eight years. The Egan family recommend using Vintage Grain in cocktails, Irish coffee as well as being drunk neat.
