Whittaker’s Distillery is located in an untouched part of the Yorkshire Dales’ and although they have won awards for their original gin, they are not quite satisfied yet.
Instead, they have decided to take on the mammoth task of producing whisky, and even their first Blonde IPA.
Both are scheduled to be released on Yorkshire Day, August 1, 2024.
A self-confessed ‘whisky nut’, Mr Whittaker, alongside some rare fanatics he has found along the way, is busy handcrafting a whisky unique to the region..
Take a look at the Mr Whittaker at work inside the stunning distillery doing what he does best.
