The Lakes Whiskymakers Project Elements
| Nose | Seven sherry styles side by side, from bright, saline Fino and Manzanilla to nutty Amontillado and dark, raisin-rich PX |
| Palate | A tour from dry and tangy to rich and sweet, showing how each sherry seasoning shapes the same spirit |
| Finish | Varies by element, from crisp and briny to long, sticky and dried-fruit heavy |
The Lakes Distillery’s Elements offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a whiskymaker as they set out to create a new single malt whisky.
This collection of individually numbered whisky is the result of a forensic examination of what a sherry cask could be. One of only 1,368 whisky libraries, it explores the flavour, aroma and texture derived from different sherry-seasoned oak casks, presenting a snapshot in time of seven different types of sherry wine: Fino, Manzanillia, Amontadillo, Palo Cortado, Cream, PX and Oloroso.
Seven core elements were identified for Elements, whereby all parameters remained identical; the oak type (American Oak), cask size (500-litre butts), maturing spirit, warehousing conditions and ABV (54%).
Each Element offers a whisky enthusiast the rare opportunity to experience, with the aid of a reference library, the specific characters, aroma, texture and flavour that each element has to play when used as a blending component in the creation of a sherry-led single malt whisky.
Each set contains:
A unique whisky library of seven 20cl elements, each exploring a different sherry-seasoned oak
A hardcover Elements guidebook, offering a background to each sherry wine and how it interacts with our casks and new make spirit
An individually numbered certificate; one of only 1,368 libraries
An exclusive link for registered buyers to behind-the-scenes content, including an "in the making" interview with Dhavall Gandhi
