The One Fine Blended Whisky

A blended whisky from England's Lake District, with The Lakes Single Malt at its heart.

Distilled, blended and bottled at The Lakes Distillery in Bassenthwaite, Cumbria — opened in 2014 inside a converted Victorian model farm in the Lake District National Park. The maturation warehouses sit in a microclimate cooler and damper than most of England, which draws slower, gentler interactions between whisky and oak.

The blend is the work of whiskymaker Dhavall Gandhi, formerly of Macallan, who brought to Cumbria a sherry-leaning, methodical approach to cask selection. The One sits at the foundation of his collection — the signature release that all his cask-finished editions build from.

On the nose: orchard fruits, butterscotch, a hint of smoke. On the palate: vanilla custard, lightly honeyed fruits, a touch of spice. The finish is rich, warming, faintly spiced.

Bottled at 46.6% ABV. Non-chill filtered for a richer mouthfeel and fuller flavour. At natural colour — only the hues drawn from oak.

Gold Medal, International Spirits Challenge. Winner of the Blended Whisky category at the W Club Members' Choice Awards.

Drink neat, on the rocks, with a splash of water, or in a highball with ginger ale.
