Whisky
The Lake District is known to be a place where the imagination can flourish, and set against the backdrop of the beautiful Cumbrian hillside; you’ll find one of the country’s largest, award-winning artisan whisky producers. The Lakes Distillery is home to some of the finest English whisky around and production is overseen by whisky maker Dhavall Gandhi, who has been working hard to create their first single malt whisky; The Whiskymaker’s Reserve No.1. With only 5,922 bottles in production the whisky embodies a new dimension of flavour. The nose is rich and vibrant with flavours of vanilla, chocolate and wood spice and layers of dry fruits, ginger and orange on the palate to create a long, warming finish. “My sole intent is to make a whisky which expresses The Lakes through flavour” says Dhavall. “We respect the conventions of Scotch whisky heritage but are open to a world of other influences, interpreting what we believe is right to make The Lakes Single Malt one of the finest whiskies in the world.”
