The Lakes Whiskymaker's Reserve No.5 is an English Single Malt Whisky produced by The Lakes Distillery, in the Lake District, Cumbria.
Whiskymaker's Reserve No. 5 was crafted from whiskies matured in a selection of custom-made casks that previously held Oloroso sherry , Pedro Ximénez (PX), and red wine . These casks are made of Spanish and American oak , offering the distillery diverse maturation and blending possibilities.
This collection serves as a true laboratory for The Lakes' Whisky Maker, who evolves the architecture of each edition by working with different types of casks and their influence on the whisky. No. 5 thus continues the style developed by previous editions in the series, while offering a new interpretation of the character sought by the distillery.
Whiskymaker's Reserve No. 5 is bottled at 52% ABV, without chill filtration, and with its natural color. Released in 2022, this fifth edition was produced in a limited run of 5,500 bottles.
