Another excellent release from The Lakes Distillery, set in the heart of the Lake District. This marks the first whisky in their developing core range, and as you’d expect from a sherry-led distillery, it’s bursting with rich, classic sherry character. Borrowing techniques from winemaking, The Lakes use élevage, a hands-on process where the whisky is regularly tasted and re-racked or adjusted to shape its final profile. The result is a sweet and floral dram, full of bright, lively flavours like apple and orange peel, layered over deep sherry warmth. A solid whisky from a distillery that continues to impress — definitely one to watch.
