- Description
- The Lakes Distillery's blended expression marries their single malt with select Highland, Speyside, and Islay whiskies, then finishes in Manzanilla casks from Spain's cooler Sanlúcar de Barrameda region. The maritime influence is evident: plum jam and boiled sweets on the nose give way to lightly stewed apples, candied ginger, and lemon zest, underpinned by a subtle salinity and woodsmoke. The texture is crisp and refreshing, with the Manzanilla's dry characteristics cutting through richer notes. This works beautifully as an aperitif or between-meal dram, where its saline character elevates rather than overwhelms.
