    Lakes Genesis Inaugural

    FINISH DATE

    The whisky is intended to be a work of art. A humble attempt to understand the true nature of the distillery and in the process, discover its very essence. Genesis is about looking at the origins and charting the course for the future of The Lakes Distillery.  This whisky was first matured in Oloroso hogsheads giving it a vibrant character full of dried ginger and woo-spice. After the initial period of maturation, the whisky was finished in casks made up of American and European oak to add a layer of dried fruit and vanilla. Finally, these two components were married together in orange wine casks from the Andalucia region of Spain, giving it a spicy and chocolate-orange character. Only 101 individually numbered bottles have been released of this cask strength Genesis whisky.

    Lakes

    The Lakes Distillery, nestled in the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Lake District in Cumbria, England, represents a modern approach to whisky production with a strong artistic ethos. Founded in 2011 by Paul Currie, previously of Arran Distillers, and opened in 2014, it's located in a meticulously renovated 160-year-old farmstead on the banks of the River Derwent. This distillery is known for its focus on flavor creation, exploring the intersection of art, science, and nature in spirit production.
