About The Lakes Distillery's Sherry Cask Finished Whisky

The One Collection is a range of blended whiskies. They show how innovative cask seasoning can enhance and elevate a whisky's flavour. There are four expressions in total:

The One Fine Blended Whisky
The One Sherry Cask Finish
The One Orange Wine Cask Finish
The One Port Cask Finish

You can try The One Fine Blended whisky and then see how the different cask finish changes it. Cool, right?

This One is the sherry finish, matured in European oak Oloroso and PX casks. That's a lot of sherry! And it gives the whisky a deep, rich and intense flavour.

The Lakes Distillery used Spanish oak, which is soft and porous. The wood encourages a higher degree of interaction between spirit and cask. The open grain allows the whisky to travel deeper into the wood, drawing out rich and intense flavours, as well as creating a beautiful and natural colour.
