Yorkshire Whisky

New distillery opened in Driffield.

Producing from barley grown on The Wolds.

They are getting prepared for Scotland's leaving.

Just caught it ont telly, first production has just been barrelled. Will be three years (minimum) in barrel before considered for drinking.

Anybody remember the made in Wigan red rose whisky. Very nice it was too especially the special edition single malt. Cheers

sold in Yates wine bars I think.might be wrong.

The Late Peter Yates Birthday coming up soon.

Wish Yates Wine Lodges still honoured his bequest: the Birthday Port, which was at a stunningly low price.

Have posted on here in the past about the stuff.

I think they no-longer do it.

Googling certainly did not find it, and the last mention I could find of it on line was some bottles on eBay, changing hands at collectors prices!

From daily mail 1996

A LANCASHIRE man is distilling whisky in Wigan and selling it to . . . the Scots.

Jeff Hampson, a qualified brewer, began making his Red Rose Lancashire Whisky ten years ago. Now, with three staff, it turns out 50 cases a week at around [pounds sterling]13 a bottle, some of which goes to bars and restaurants in Scotland.

If memory serves the Hampsons ran Potter's herbal remedies.

They did i-spy, though the whisky was brewed and distilled in Burnley. It is now a collectors item.

Didn't one of the Hampsons marry Jennifer Moss the Wigan actress who was coronation street's first problem teenager

Yes, Peter, was a bit of a wild black sheep apparently.

I doubt this whisky would be glugged.
