The Lakes Signature cocktail, Nocturne.

The Lakes Distillery

The Lakes Signature

The culmination of over a decade of flavour exploration

Shaped by the seven editions of our Whiskymaker's Reserve series, The Lakes Signature is our first permanent style of sherry-led single malt whisky.

Embodying the art of élevage - nurturing the spirit through a series of casks to unlock endless possibilities for new and intriguing flavours - the result is a remarkable whisky, rich with exceptional layers of depth and complexity.

Matured in the finest European and American oak Oloroso and PX sherry casks, this indulgent whisky is a distinguished, multi-layered single malt with a distinctive, lingering finish.

The Lakes Signature Single Malt Whisky 70cl

It’s been years in the making, but The Lakes Distillery has finally bottled its defining style. Signature marks the first permanent single malt in the range – a bold, sherry-led dram that sets the tone for everything to come.

Matured in a mix of the finest sherry-seasoned oak casks, Signature delivers deep layers of dark chocolate, dried fruits, and warming spice. It’s indulgent and rich, but never overdone – precision-crafted in the heart of the Lake District using the distillery’s meticulous élevage philosophy.

This isn’t just another release. It’s a statement. Signature is The Lakes in full voice.

For No.7, it's a blend of oloroso, PX, and red wine casks, comprising Spanish and American oak, that was bottled at 52% ABV non-chill filtered, with natural colour.
