Creating a new whisky necessitates a framework being in place, but there has to be room within it to play, to follow gut feeling and instinct.
Today, we are proud to announce the latest in a series of award wins for The Lakes Single Malt Whisky.
Fuelled more by a desire to make sense of things than the need to follow a well-trodden path, our whiskymaker Dhavall Gandhi began his career as far away from casks, flavour and creation as you can imagine.
Where, traditionally, we use American, French, and Spanish oak to create a timeless sherry-led whisky, with The One Sherry Cask Finished, it is the characters of Spanish wood which bring a new dimension to the flavour profile.
For The One Whisky Collection, it is the art of blending and the interaction between the spirit, air and oak which creates the layers of complexity, flavour and character.
We are delighted to unveil two new whiskies as part of The One Whisky Collection; The One Orange Wine Cask Finished Whisky and The One Sherry Cask Finished Whisky.
We can’t wait to welcome you back to the distillery and our preparations are almost complete, with a host of new safety measures in place to ensure you have an exceptional experience.
The third expression in The Lakes Distillery’s Whiskymaker’s Reserve series has been unveiled as a new and aromatic single malt whisky, matured in the finest, meticulously sourced PX, Oloroso, Cream Sherry, and red wine casks.
Exploring the influence of location on whisky maturation, our very own guided online tasting brings Dhavall Gandhi together in conversation with master blenders from around the globe.
With plans for public events cancelled and people staying at home to remain safe, there could, perhaps, never be a more appropriate time to commemorate the 75th anniversary of VE Day.
