The culmination of over a decade of flavour exploration, shaped by the seven editions of our Whiskymaker’s Reserve series, The Lakes Signature is the 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.
On the nose, honeyed fruits, vanilla and gentle spice. The palate brings layers of dried fruit, orange peel, and a touch of oak, leading to a smooth, warming finish. Elegant and approachable, it’s a whisky designed for all occasions — equally at home neat, over ice, or in a refined highball.
A refined evolution on our journey to define a sherry-led signature style, The Whiskymaker’s Reserve No.7 has matured in the finest Oloroso, PX and red wine casks.

Colheita (Col-yate-a) means “harvest”, referring to the exclusive use of grapes from a single crop to create a vintage port.

The original Whiskymaker’s Project, Elements is a library of whisky learning.
Offering a rare glimpse into the mind of a whiskymaker as they set out to create a new single malt whisky, this project originates before The Lakes ever released a single malt.
Remarkably rare and individually numbered, this collection of whisky is the result of a forensic examination of what a sherry cask could be. One of only 1,368 whisky libraries, it explores the flavour, aroma and texture derived from different sherry-seasoned oak casks, presenting a snapshot in time of seven different types of sherry wine: Fino, Manzanillia, Amontadillo, Palo Cortado, Cream, PX and Oloroso.
From dozens of casks and specifications used in the original project, seven core elements were identified for Elements, whereby all parameters remained identical; the oak type (American Oak), cask size (500-litre butts), maturing spirit, warehousing conditions and ABV (54%).
The result? Each Element isn’t a one-off, a special release, or an intriguing diversion from the main business, but one of the infinite fundamental building blocks that make up the Lakes’ maturation philosophy. It offers a whisky enthusiast the rare opportunity to experience, with the aid of a reference library, the specific characters, aroma, texture and flavour that each element has to play when used as a blending component in the creation of a sherry-led single malt whisky.

Chances are there wasn't collaboration, communication, and checkpoints, there wasn't a process agreed upon or specified with the granularity required. It's content strategy gone awry right from the start. Forswearing the use of Lorem Ipsum wouldn't have helped, won't help now. It's like saying you're a bad designer, use less bold text, don't use italics in every other paragraph. True enough, but that's not all that it takes to get things back on track.
The villagers are out there with a vengeance to get that Frankenstein
You made all the required mock ups for commissioned layout, got all the approvals, built a tested code base or had them built, you decided on a content management system, got a license for it or adapted:
This is quite a problem to solve, but just doing without greeking text won't fix it. Using test items of real content and data in designs will help, but there's no guarantee that every oddity will be found and corrected. Do you want to be sure? Then a prototype or beta site with real content published from the real CMS is needed—but you’re not going that far until you go through an initial design cycle.
