Lakes Distillery is located in the picturesque town of Cockermouth in the Lake District, England. Founded in 2014, it was established by a group of whisky enthusiasts and entrepreneurs, aiming to create high-quality spirits in the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage site. The distillery is independently owned and has quickly gained recognition for its commitment to craftsmanship and innovation in whisky production. With a production capacity of around 250,000 liters annually, Lakes Distillery employs traditional methods alongside modern technology. The distillery features custom copper pot stills, which contribute to the unique character of their whiskies. The flavor profile is notably rich, with sweet notes complemented by spices, figs, and plums on the nose. The palate reveals a blend of vanilla, nutmeg, and sherry, leading to a complex finish of nuts, fruit, and dark cherry. Notable expressions include the Steel Bonnets blended malt and The Whiskymaker's Reserve No. 2, both showcasing the distillery's distinctive style. Visitors can explore the distillery through guided tours and tastings, immersing themselves in the whisky-making process and the scenic surroundings.
