A family business making alcoholic spirits in a market town in the Yorkshire Dales has had to rebrand one of its most popular drinks after incurring the wrath of authorities in 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.
