Lakes Distillery Whiskymaker's Reserve No. 7 Single Malt Whisky (700ml, 52% ABV)
$299.00
A refined evolution on The Lakes Distillery's 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.Elegant sweetness on the nose, rich and creamy honeyed fruits and a hint of dark chocolate lead to fragrant notes, warming spices and cocoa nibs.
The Whiskymaker’s Reserve is an artistic exploration of oak and blending; of flavour evolution and defining a house style. Creating a new whisky requires a framework of sorts, but there has to be room within it to play, to follow gut feeling and instinct. The architecture of each release of Whiskymaker’s Reserve will evolve in keeping with both the distillery's increasing sherry cask influence and their sense of adventure.
Enjoy as you please. Try adding a few drops of water to open up the flavours. Tasting notes (below) have been supplied by the distillery

About the Distillery
Located in the heart of England’s Lake District National Park, The Lakes Distillery is one of the most exciting modern additions to the UK’s whisky scene. Established in 2014, the distillery combines traditional whisky-making techniques with a contemporary approach to maturation, often taking inspiration from sherry cask traditions. Under the guidance of master whisky maker Dhavall Gandhi (until 2022) and now a new team continuing the legacy, The Lakes has become known for its bold, complex single malts and its meticulous blending philosophy that treats whisky-making as both art and science.
The distillery’s surroundings—crystal-clear waters, rolling hills, and crisp mountain air—contribute to a unique sense of place captured in every bottle. While The Lakes Distillery produces gin and vodka alongside whisky, its flagship “The Whiskymaker’s Reserve” series has drawn critical acclaim for its richness, depth, and distinctive sherry-cask character. As one of England’s few whisky producers operating at a serious scale, The Lakes Distillery is redefining English single malt and helping establish it on the global whisky map.
