A YORKSHIRE distillery is preparing to launch its first ever single malt, and will host a Burns supper to celebrate.
Spirit Of Yorkshire, based in Hunmanby, will host the event on January 25, to mark the birth of Scotland's famous poet Robbie Burns, with a traditional haggis supper accompanied with cask samples and tastings of the distillery's Maturing Malt, plus whisky from other distilleries.
Organiser Libby Barmby hails from Scotland and promised a Yorkshire twist to the event.
She said: "This Burns night, we will be striking a nice balance. A respectful nod to the gregarious bard, but with the focus on tasting our whisky in the making and eating delicious food, complemented by a light dusting of his less serious pieces."
Tickets cost £25 including a whisky cocktail, a two course supper and five drams of whisky and Spirit of Yorkshire's Maturing Malt, and are available on 01723 891758 or online at spiritofyorkshire.com
