The One Whisky *SOLD OUT* - a complex yet balanced fine blended whisky with hints of stone fruit, treacle, light spice on the nose. Deliciously compelling on the palate with notes of honey-roasted nuts, wood spice, dried fruits and gentle wood smoke. Using only a select few botanicals, we achieve flavour precision, ensuring every nuance is pitch perfect and crystal clear on the palate. Less is more. Set in what was once a Victorian farmstead’s cattle parlour, it is the perfect place for a kitchen focused on local food and honest, hearty flavours. Having tried a few garnish options I settled on the distillery’s recommended grapefruit wedge. For tonic, I found it worked best with Fever-Tree Mediterranean light.

Cumbria is home to the Lakes District and, consequently, the Lakes Distillery. It was founded in 2011 by Paul Currie, who you may know as one of the co-founders of the Isle of Arran Distillery. You'll find the distillery in a Lake District national park within a painstakingly renovated 160-year-old farmstead on the banks of the River Derwent. Because of said location, they can’t construct any additional buildings, so they have a very impressive distillery-in-a-room set-up to distil their spirits. Refreshingly floral and vibrant, intricate flavour infusion creates a characterful gin liqueur with a lively, fresh finish. This is quite a deviation on the original recipe which contained botanicals such as bilberry, heather, hawthorn and mint, many of them foraged from the local area. From a brand perspective, I’d perhaps have liked to have seen The Lakes keep some of these foraged ingredients in the new recipe and retain that connection of provenance. DistillationAs a G&T I adore The Lakes Gin. The profile doesn’t change much when tonic is added – a bit more sweetness and citrus, with the peppery notes dialed down a notch. Compared side-by-side to the original, it’s less bitter, more delicate almost, and definitely sweeter with the orange peel coming through.
