The fifth release in The Lakes Whiskymaker's Reserve series, bottled in 2022, is an artistic exploration of the house style that The Lakes Distillery has perfected. This limited edition, with only 5,500 bottles available, is a 140th Anniversary exclusive from Fenwick. It includes one 700ml bottle, two glasses, and a single malt tour experience for two people. Crafted from a combination of Pedro Ximenez sherry, Oloroso sherry, and red wine casks made from Spanish and American oak, The Whiskymaker's Reserve No.5 is an elegant and rich single malt that continues the sherry and wood characteristics of its predecessors. On the nose, it fills the senses with aromas of red apples, polished oak, chocolate, and rich Devonshire cream. The palate is a delightful blend of pecans, walnut, baklava, candied papaya, coffee, toasted brown sugar, and clotted cream. It finishes long and warming with hints of vanilla and spice. This complex whisky offers a sweet and fruity profile with a creamy texture, making it a true masterpiece of The Lakes Distillery.
