Steel Bonnets from The Lakes Distillery is an intriguing blended malt, made with whiskies from both Scotland and England! At the core is a hearty helping of The Lakes very own single malt whisky, supported by single malts from undisclosed distilleries. Enjoyably smoky, with balancing notes of dried fruit and fresh vanilla.

I like this whisky. It is underrated. If it wasn't blended it would be appreciated far more. There is nothing bland about the taste. It is a touch smokey which I like. I usually drink expensive whiskys but I always enjoy Steel Bonnets. At 46.6% you know you are having a proper dram.
Very nice dram indeed! Would buy again
This is a very easy drink, nothing sharp, or uncomfortable in it, you could say smooth and slightly smokey with a warm heart and finish. Single malt snobs will hate it, because it's a nice blended whiskey, and fairly priced.
I had some of this over Christmas 2019. It was a hit or miss kinda drink. Everyone seemed to taste something different. Myself I found it had a smooth taste of vanilla while my wife said it was to "burnt" she meant smokey. I recommend getting the tester bottle first to see what you think. I found this rather nice to drink while chilling on the sofa watching tv.
It’s very difficult to review whisky as one person says 5 star excellent the next review is 1 star awful. Whisky divides opinion more than say a car or motorbike etc etc. I love whisky Classic Laddie at the moment and I’m a full paid up member of the 50/50 club. I’m in the 50% That love Laphroaig There’s nothing wrong with this whisky imo. It’s a decent tasting dram and I’ve paid more for worse. It’s very hard to review as someone agrees and someone disagrees according to tastes. Try it
