Tasting Notes
The Lakes Whiskymaker's Reserve No.5 is a delightful English single malt that captivates the senses with its alluring aroma and rich, complex flavors. Upon nosing, you're greeted with enticing notes of cherry Bakewells, dried fruit, and the warmth of aged oak furniture, complemented by a subtle hint of pecan nuttiness. The palate unveils a delightful harmony of coffee cake, cinnamon spice, and the depth of rich red wine, with a tangy tropical fruit undertone adding a refreshing lift. The finish lingers with toasted brown sugar, cassia, and the warmth of mahogany, leaving a lasting impression. This sherried expression, crafted from a blend of Pedro Ximénez sherry, Oloroso sherry, and red wine casks, and bottled at a robust 52% ABV, is a true testament to the refined elegance of English single malt whisky.
