The One Fine Blended Whisky Colheita Cask Finish from The Lakes Distillery is a unique expression in their Cask Finished series, bottled in 2022 and boasting an ABV of 46.6%. This limited edition release expertly marries The Lakes single malt with the finest grain and malt Scotch whiskies from the renowned whisky regions of the Highlands, Speyside, and Islay in Scotland. Initially matured in American oak casks, the blend is then finished in Colheita Port casks, which are seasoned with single-vintage Tawny Port made from a single harvest. This meticulous process imbues the whisky with a distinct and captivating flavor profile.
Colheita, meaning 'harvest', refers to the vintage Tawny Port used to season the casks before the whisky is added. This careful seasoning imparts enticing aromas of peach cobbler, fresh apricots, and a hint of autumnal smoke on the nose. As you savor this whisky, you'll experience notes of ripe plums, vanilla custard, and warming cinnamon on the palate, creating a harmonious symphony of flavors.
The palate reveals a delightful array of flavors, including ripe peaches, apricots with cream, and a touch of bonfire smoke. These flavors are followed by creme brulee, juicy stone fruits, and baking spices, leading to a finish that is both warming and sumptuous, with a subtle hint of oak and smoke.
Overall, The One Fine Blended Whisky Colheita Cask Finish is a fruity, sweet blend that showcases the innovative role of cask seasoning in enhancing flavor. It is an artful combination of various whiskies from across Scotland, unified by the distinctive Colheita Port cask finish, making it a truly exceptional and memorable whisky from The Lakes Distillery.
