Enjoying: Filey Bay in the Netherlands
Filey Bay whisky is a first for family owned Dutch importer De Monnik Dranken.
We’ve joined fellow family-owned business De Monnik Dranken in a collaboration that will make our Yorkshire single malt whisky available in the Netherlands.
We will be the first English whisky brand to join the fourth-generation importer, wholesaler and brand builder portfolio in its 106-year history.
Luuk Olde Monnikhof, Managing Director and Co-Owner of De Monnik Dranken, is excited about the new collaboration:
“In recent years, we have strategically expanded our import portfolio and identified a premium whisky brand from England with a rich heritage as a missing piece. Filey Bay whisky, renowned for its distinct character and outstanding quality, fits seamlessly with our premium spirits portfolio. The fact that both Filey Bay and De Monnik Dranken are family-owned businesses enhances our connection and underscores the shared values that will drive our partnership. We are excited to start this collaboration and look forward to a fruitful partnership with the Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery team.”
David Thompson, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery, said:
“We’re delighted to be working with De Monnik Dranken to bring Filey Bay whisky to the Netherlands. As a business with family at its heart, their desire to create a sustainable legacy for the future instinctively chimes with our own. The De Monnik Dranken team truly understand how our field to bottle process is so integral to creating great tasting whisky, as well as our approach of respecting tradition but doing things our own, Yorkshire, way.”
De Monnik Dranken will launch Filey Bay single malt whisky at the Art of Drinks show in Amsterdam on 26th October. Managing Director and Co-Owner David Thompson and Brand Ambassador Amy Teesdale will be exhibiting at the show, talking about out field to bottle production and pouring a dram or two.
