Tasting Notes
A complex and aromatic single malt crafted with meticulous attention to detail. A testament to the distillery’s innovative approach, this release is matured in Spanish and American oak casks seasoned with Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherries, as well as premium red wine. The result is a vibrant expression of rich wood spice and juicy red fruits, with a distinctly exotic character. An intriguing addition to the Lakes’ portfolio, No.6 reflects their dedication to pushing the boundaries of whisky craftsmanship.
Nose:
A captivating bouquet of oriental spice and marzipan infused with rose water, complemented by candied ginger and polished oak.
Palate:
Rich and mellow, featuring layers of sun-dried dates, toasted teacake, and gentle spice. The smooth and creamy texture is enhanced by raisin, sultana, warm honey, and soft toffee undertones.
Finish:
A symphony of red and dark fruits linger, with floral hibiscus and a drying oak spice providing a refined conclusion.
