From Shibden Valley to the Spirit Shelf: Speight’s Distillery Unveils New Vodka Range


The wait is finally over for fans of Yorkshire’s artisan spirits. This weekend, Speight’s Distillery is descending upon the iconic Piece Hall in Halifax to officially launch its highly anticipated new vodka range—and the timing couldn't be more perfect.

​Set against the backdrop of the Vintage Car Show, the distillery is bringing its craft from the quiet hills of the Shibden Valley to the heart of the square. With the sun shining over the historic courtyard and a stunning array of classic vehicles on display, it’s a picture-perfect setting for a milestone moment.

​A Grand Debut in the Square

​The Piece Hall has long been a base alongside Northowram for Speight's, and launching their new venture into vodka during such a vibrant weekend is a natural fit. Visitors wandering among the vintage motors can stop by the Speight's stall to experience:

  • ​Exclusive First Tastes: Be among the first to sample the 10 Times Distilled Northern Vodka and the indulgent Toffee Vodka.
  • ​Meet the Makers: The Speight family and the distilling team will be on hand to discuss the meticulous "ten-stage" process that defines their new spirit.
  • ​Sunshine & Spirits: Enjoy the crisp, clean taste of their new vodka while soaking up the atmosphere of one of Yorkshire's busiest and most beautiful weekend events.

​Pure Innovation: The New Range

​While the distillery built its name on award-winning gins, this weekend is all about the purity of the grain.

​10 Times Distilled Northern Vodka

​By distilling the spirit ten times, Speight’s has achieved an ultra-smooth profile that rivals the top premium brands globally. It is exceptionally soft on the finish, making it the perfect base for a sophisticated cocktail or a simple pour over ice to cool down in the weekend sun.

​Toffee Vodka

​For those with a sweeter tooth, the Toffee Vodka is set to be a crowd-favorite. Rich and buttery with deep caramel notes, it captures the essence of a traditional Yorkshire sweet treat in liquid form.

​Craft Powered by Friendship and Family

​What truly sets Speight’s apart isn't just the copper stills; it’s the people behind the bottles. Since founding the business in 2019, Peter, Angela, and their family have become beloved fixtures of the local community.

​They are widely known as the nicest folk you could ever hope to meet, putting their heart and soul into every small batch they produce. For those lucky enough to call them friends, this weekend’s launch is more than just a business milestone—it’s a celebration of a family that truly deserves the world. Their success is a testament to hard work, kindness, and a genuine passion for their community.

​Visit Them This Weekend

​If you’re heading to the Vintage Car Show, make sure to find the Speight’s Distillery stand in the square. Support a local family business run by people who are as exceptional as the spirits they craft.
