About The Lakes Distillery

Founded in 2011 in the Lake District UNESCO World Heritage Site, The Lakes Distillery has rapidly established itself as one of England's premier whisky producers. Located on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake, the distillery attracts over 100,000 visitors annually and has won global recognition, including "World's Best Single Malt" in 2022. The Signature represents the culmination of over a decade of flavour exploration through their acclaimed Whiskymaker's Reserve series, defining their distinctive sherry-led house style. Under whiskymaker Sarah Burgess's guidance, The Lakes continues to push boundaries whilst honouring traditional craftsmanship.

Understanding The Lakes Signature Philosophy

The Lakes Signature represents a watershed moment in English whisky - the transition from experimental releases to a defining house style. Using the French technique of élevage (intentional maturation changes), the distillery manipulates location, climate, and cask types to develop desired characteristics. This approach, traditionally associated with fine wines and cognacs, showcases how English distillers are innovating beyond traditional methods. As one of the first permanent releases from the new generation of English distilleries, Signature demonstrates the maturity and confidence of the English whisky movement, establishing benchmarks for future expressions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes Lakes Signature different from their limited releases?

A: Signature is The Lakes' first permanent offering, representing their definitive house style after years of experimentation. Whilst limited releases explore different directions, Signature embodies their refined, signature sherry-led approach.

Q: Is Lakes Signature suitable for newcomers to sherry-cask whisky?

A: Yes! At 47% ABV, Signature offers excellent balance. The rich chocolate and fruit flavours are approachable whilst providing the complexity that experienced drinkers appreciate.

Q: How does the élevage process affect the flavour?

A: Élevage involves moving whisky between different locations and cask types during maturation, creating intentional flavour changes. This results in greater complexity and the signature orange-chocolate notes The Lakes is known for.

Q: How does this compare to Scottish sherry whiskies like Macallan?

A: Lakes Signature offers comparable richness and complexity but with a distinctly English character - brighter, more vibrant, with that signature orange-chocolate profile that sets it apart from traditional Scottish expressions.
