The Lakes Single Malt Signature

Let me introduce you to The Lakes Signature, a whisky that reflects over ten years of careful exploration and craftsmanship. As the first permanent sherry-led single malt from The Lakes distillery, it’s a standout for anyone looking to add something special to their whisky collection. This expression is matured in a unique blend of European and American oak Oloroso and PX sherry casks, resulting in a rich and complex dram that comes in at 47% ABV.

Our Hamish has had a sip and jotted down his thoughts.

Nose: Polished oak, with a touch of soft leather and an indulgent mix of dried fruits. There’s a nice layer of pecan nuts, dark chocolate, and just a hint of orange zest to round it off.

Palate: Sweet sultanas, raisins, and figs weaving together with stewed orchard fruits, all brightened up by a touch of citrus.

Finish: Raisin and fig notes linger, joined by warm nutmeg and a drizzle of dark treacle.
