Description
Lakes District of England is just a bit south of the UK/Scottish border. This is where you will find the Lakes Distillery as well. It was founded in 2011 by Paul Currie, who was one of the co-founders of the Isle of Arran Distillery in Scotland. The distillery is in a Lake District national park within a carefully renovated 160-year-old farmstead on the banks of the River Derwent. Because of the historical and natural location, they can’t construct any additional buildings, so they have a very impressive distillery-in-a-room set-up to distill their spirits. For their whisky distillation, they have a pair of custom-designed McMillan stills, as well as a smaller still for their Lakes Gin and Vodka, which were released in 2014.
In December 2016, Dhavall Ghandi joined the team as the whisky master, previously working at Macallan although also remaining open to a world of new inspiration. Over 80% of The Lakes’ spirit is filled into different types of ex-sherry casks.
Taste
Matured in Oloroso, Pedro Ximenez, and red wine casks.
Brand Tasting Notes: Rich and aromatic with oriental spice, marzipan with rose water, candied ginger, and polished oak. You’ll find the palate rich and mellow with sun-dried Ajwa dates, toasted teacake, and hints of gentle spice. The finish is rich and complex with lingering spice.
