Wensleydale Spirit Company: Flavoured vodka made in Yorkshire Dales changes t'Quila name after complaints from Mexico

Last summer, the Wensleydale Spirit Company, based in Leyburn, launched its latest premium spirit at the Great Yorkshire Show. Called t’Quila, it was the North Yorkshire distillery’s take on Tequila, the famous Mexican spirit and followed its creations of Wensleydale spiced rum and Tusky vodka. And it was all going so well. Visitors at the Great Yorkshire Show loved it and sales were exceeding all expectations.

It can be served neat, with mixers, or as the base for cocktails and the distillery says it has created a flavour sensation that “marries hints of melon, citrus, pepper, vanilla, and smoke.” Mr Taplin added: “We are delighted to have TQ back on the shelves, and that we are now once again able to sell and promote our full range of spirits. This time last year we had no idea that we would be in a fight against Mexican officials which had the potential to seriously damage our distillery.
