On Friday, June 28, The Garden Room at The Mansion in Roundhay Park will host a four-course dinner and whisky tasting in conjunction with Hunmanby-based Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery.

Guests will enjoy a drinks reception followed by dinner with each course paired with Spirit of Yorkshire’s Maturing Malts. Spirit of Yorkshire’s Whisky Director, Joe Clark said: “All of our Maturing Malt expressions started life as barley growing in the fields at our farm on the top of the Yorkshire Wolds back in 2015. The barley was transformed into spirit in 2016, and after a sleepy couple of years in our warehouse, it is now yours to enjoy at this unique event.”
