As our resident front man Alastair James is away this month, we're incredibly excited to have Edwina Hayes back at the distillery to fill in for our next Jazz n Blues evening!
Edwina’s beautifully written songs, charming stage presence and voice of an angel have won her a reputation as a true natural talent of gentle folk-Americana.
She has opened numerous shows for Jools Holland and Van Morrison as well as her own gigs playing stages everywhere from Glastonbury Festival to The Royal Albert Hall. The title track of her album Pour Me A Drink was covered by Nanci Griffith who calls her 'the sweetest voice in England' and her cover of the Randy Newman song Feels Like Home was featured in the Cameron Diaz film My Sister's Keeper and has since had over eight million plays on You Tube.

If you’re out and about on the Yorkshire Coast this weekend, why not make a stop to see us here at the Pot Still Coffee Shop?
The team have got you covered from full english breakfasts to coffee and cake, and with a bit of notice are more than happy to cater for any dietary requirements you might have.

Stopping on the side of the drive to crouch down and assess how his crops are growing is one of Tom’s favourite things to do. If you’re in the car with him, be prepared to have to admire the green shoots...
Our malting barley is predominantly Concerto – planted in spring, we harvest it in August. To find out more about how we choose what type of barley to use, head to our website to read our blog.

“Longer in bed, weighs like lead” – that’s what Geoffrey who worked at the farm in the 80s and 90s used to say. And the incredible weather at the end of February meant that for the first time in living memory, we had all the barley planted before the 1st March. So we’re hoping for amazing things from this year’s crop… all we can do now is wait and see!

Going forward, each month we’ll be looking in-depth at the creation process of whisky so that you can really see what we’re doing here in Hunmanby. First up is barley, a crucial ingredient in whisky. The Yorkshire Wolds are one of the best places to grow malting barley in the UK and we’ve been growing it here at Hunmanby Grange since the Mellor family bought the farm in 1945. Over the next few weeks we’ll be taking you through our growth process on our social channels, and if you want to know more about our thoughts on barley varieties and their impact on the end product, then head to our blog where we discuss it in great detail (warning, it's quite long, you’ll want a cup of tea and a really good biscuit to read it with).

Fancy working at Yorkshire’s first ever single malt distillery? Or know someone who might?
We’re looking for a cheery, charming and creative person to join us in the Pot Still Coffee Shop and the Distillery Shop. The role would be part-time (including weekends), paying the national living wage. We’d like applicants to have customer service experience and ideally to have worked in a coffee shop/cafe before (though we will provide training too of course).
If this sounds like something for you then please send your CV to Serena at shop@spiritofyorkshire.com. Alternatively if you know someone else who could be interested then please do share this post or send them our way! Thanks!

Went for my friend Lyn Blades Hen do. Went on the distillery tour , which was extremely informative hosted by Chrissie. Then had afternoon tea which was divine, especially the caramelised onion quiche. Well done the distillery team.

We went to an evening music night. It was well worth the long drive to have a relaxed evenings entertainment super music from alister and Ben and we will go again thanks

Tour takes approx 60 min, site is only small but tour was very informative. 3 good samples to try at the end. They also have a lovely cafe to get drinks and snacks.

There is also a small whiskey shop.



Defiantly worth a visit!! Can't wait to buy a bottle!

This place is truly amazing. Set in stunning Yorkshire countryside and just down the road from wold top brewery there is nothing not to like. The staff are helpful, knowledgeable and friendly and the tour is in depth and interesting. A must visit for anyone who appreciates good quality produce and whisky.

This hidden gem is a fantastic find. So close to home too which is an added bonus. My friend and I booked for the afternoon tea and what a feast it was. As regular “afternoon tea’ers” I am 100% certain we will return again

We decided to do the distillery tour and found it not only informative but very interesting.

Keep up the good work. Just what the area needs. I will be recommending you to all our glampers.

The best afternoon tea we have ever had.....and we have had considerable experience!!

Distillery tour was really interesting - even for a non whisky drinker - and extremely well presented too. Highly recommended.

Thankyou for a great afternoon!

We will be back!�

Libby was our tour guide and she was great, very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and obviously enjoys her job, whatever your paying her she needs a bonus. We also had the afternoon tea, which was delicious and great value for money. It was good to know that it is baked in house by the staff. To the owners of Spirit of Yorkshire I hope you appreciate what an excellent assest you have in your staff. A great way to spend 2- 3 hours.

Just called in for a cuppa and the staff were all so friendly. Plenty of advice from the man in the distillery shop and info on the tours etc.

I have visited many distilleries and I can truly say that this was an excellent experience. A really good tour and tasting experience. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. And to top it all a really nice coffee shop. Would thoroughly recommend.

Had an amazing Afternoon Tea followed by a tour of the distillery. The food was delicious, the staff very attentive and their knowledge of the distillery was brilliant!! Thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon and would highly recommend the tour :-)

Great tour and tasting at the distillery, Libby was enthusiastic and informative. The afternoon tea was wonderful, all of the staff made us feel welcome. Thank you.

Found this treasure by mistake whilst a group of us were cycling. The cafe offers great tasting coffee with well cooked food and cakes. The place is extremely clean well presented with friendly staff. Well worth a visit if not for the cafe check out the shop with huge selection of whiskey and gifts, maybe book a tour or a jazz night meal if you fancy it.

Fantastic place, great coffee and whisky, what more could you want? ���

Fabulous venue. The tour is great and informative, if you are lucky to get a taster you will love it. The pot still cafe serves delicious cakes with a view into the distillery.

Fabulous afternoon tea and tour. The staff were enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and were eager to answer our questions. The whisky samples were very tasty, and we are looking forward to when they are available to buy! Thanks Sam Holsworth, it was a great gift,xx

Brilliant place to visit staff provide excellent service and the food was delicious would definitely recommend whiskey and apple cake x

Attended this tour on Saturday with friends and were thoroughly impressed by the set up. And the tasters were very good fo a maturing malt. Would definitely recommend.

A wonderful place. The tour was superb and picked up more information than at any of the other larger whiskey distillery tours I have been on prior. The shop stoc s some very nice bottles from all over the world including places I never knew made whiskey. We also purchased a fantastic bespoke lamp which look great in our home. Plus the bacon sandwiches are to die for. All in all a wonderful experience. Don't expect to bring a bottle home with you just yet, but you will sample the future whiskey they will produce. We will be back soon.

i think that will be a whisky to be seen on the market in a couple of years, i like it ripe and mellow, nice
