Filey BaySTR Red Wine Cask

Filey Bay STR Red Wine Cask is an English single malt whisky from Spirit of Yorkshire, bottled at 47.3% ABV and matured with influence from STR red wine casks. STR stands for shaved, toasted, and re-charred, a cask treatment used to add extra layers of fruit and oak character.

For a novice drinker, this style often shows a mix of malty sweetness, red-fruit notes, and gentle spice from the wine-seasoned oak. It is likely to feel fuller and more wine-led than a standard ex-bourbon maturation, while still keeping the distillery's single malt character at the core.
