Here is a special release from The Lakes Distillery, England.

“A refined evolution on our journey to define a sherry-led signature style, The Whiskymaker’s Reserve No.7 has matured in the finest Oloroso, PX and red wine casks.”

The Lakes The Whiskymaker's Reserve No. 7 is available to buy direct from the distillery at GBP 85.

Nose: A tranquil moment precedes the tempest. Gentle swirls of cacao, leather, cinnamon, and cigar box create a soothing atmosphere. As time progresses, notes of earthy vanilla, cracked peanut shells, and the crust of sourdough bread emerge, enriching the experience.

Taste: The experience is full-bodied and rich, demanding your attention. Fresh and vibrant fruity notes intertwine with a deep yet restrained sweetness derived from honey and dark chocolate.

Finish: The finish is medium to long, presenting a softer profile that shifts away from fruity notes. Instead, it reveals a harmonious blend of cacao and dark chocolate flavors. Imagine a chocolate mousse, elegantly paired with rich cream and delicately topped with a dusting of grated cacao nibs.

Comment: A truly memorable finish.
