Two local businesses have collaborated to create a unique coffee.
Bridlington-based Three Ridings Coffee has created a unique coffee using beans that have been barrel-aged for 20 days in an ex-Filey Bay Flagship cask from Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery at Hunmanby.

Leo Jarvis, co-founder of Three Ridings Coffee, said: “When the team at Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery approached us to collaborate on a barrel-aged coffee project for the second time, we were thrilled. We believe that Yorkshire whisky and Yorkshire coffee are the perfect match.
“We met with Joe Clark, the distillery’s whisky director, and selected an ex-bourbon cask labelled ‘1929.’ This barrel was previously used to produce ‘Flagship,’ their outstanding single malt whisky.”

“We were particularly excited to explore using an ex-Filey Bay Flagship cask to age the coffee beans. The Flagship’s citrusy and sweet notes, along with hints of caramel and chocolate, are a fantastic match for the vibrant flavours of the Malawian coffee. By ageing the green beans for 20 days in the cask, Leo and co-founder Jordan Cavalli have created a truly unique coffee that offers a subtle whisper of Filey Bay Flagship on the finish.” said Joe Clark.
Filey Bay x Three Ridings Barrel Aged Coffee is available in 190g bottles of whole beans or ground coffee and costs £14.95 and is available at the distillery shop at Hunmanby and online at spiritofyorkshire.com and threeridingscoffee.co.uk.
Spirit of Yorkshire is a true field-to-bottle distillery and one of only a handful of distilleries that use 100% homegrown barley to produce single malt whisky. Filey Bay single malt whisky is available throughout the UK and abroad.
