The Lakes Distillery ONE Port Expression Whisky 70cl

Port Cask FinishedThe Lakes Single Malt blended with Scotch grain and single malt whiskies. Non-chill filtered and bottled at natural colour.The Lakes District has long been a crucible for creativity, a place in which the imagination can flourish. The Lakes Distillery's Whiskymaker, Dhavall Gandhi, takes inspiration from the UNESCO World Heritage Site where a state-of-the-art distillery has been built meticulously within a 160-year-old farmstead on the banks of the River Derwent.This release of The One is a singular blend of The Lakes Single Malt and select grain and malt whiskies from Speyside and Islay. This blend was finished for one year in first-fill Tawny Port hogsheads from Portugal, personally sourced by Dhavall. Full-bodied and smoky with ripe cherries and plums on the nose, hints of nutmeg and black pepper dance on the palate, leading into a long, warming finish.Non-chill filtered for a richer mouthfeel and fuller flavour, with only the natural colours derived from our oak casks in every bottle.Enjoy as you please. Add a few drops of water to venture further into the flavour depths.The nature of our art is whisky, the inspiration of our art is nature.Dhavall GandhiWhiskymaker
