Description

The Lakes The Whiskymaker's Reserve No. 5 is the fifth release in The Lakes Distillery's award-winning Whiskymaker's Reserve series, an artistic exploration of oak and blending. This English single malt is matured in a combination of meticulously sourced Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez, and red wine casks, comprising both Spanish and American oak. Inspired by the Cognac principle of élevage, the whiskymaker actively monitors and influences the maturation process, moving spirits between casks to develop complex layers of flavor. Bottled at 52% ABV, it is non-chill filtered and natural in color, showcasing a refined, sherry-led, and wood-forward style. This limited edition release aims for elegance and textural refinement, building on the success of its predecessors.
