Infinity – a whisky designed for the curious…
The Lakes Distillery has released The Whiskymaker’s Editions ‘Infinity’ – a whisky designed for the curious!
Unlocking a new dimension with every sip, The Whiskymaker’s Editions Infinity is inspired by a never-ending fascination with the interconnectedness of fragrance and flavour.
Designed for the curious whisky drinker, this single malt is described by its maker to “stimulate profound thought” and “offer a unique experience” as it delves deep into the notion that everything in nature is entwined in a state of perpetual motion, leading to somewhere new.
Available online and from The Lakes Distillery from Friday, 7 October 2022
Matured in a multitude of The Lakes Distillery’s finest sherry butts, including rare Palo Cortado seasoned American oak casks, it is the art of blending, carefully layering complimentary and contrasting flavours, and learnedly counterbalancing aromas that makes it possible for Infinity to appear in a state of constant evolution on both the nose and palate.
Simultaneously complex and enigmatic, bewildering and delightful, each inimitable taste entices you to go deeper and deeper into a metaphorical rabbit hole of flavours, offering the opportunity to explore infinite ever-changing combinations that make it difficult to define where they come from and where they lead.
Created with a modern approach and a wide variety of exceptional sherry casks, Infinity is a whisky that offers a unique experience.
With layer upon layer of continuously changing aromas and flavours, perfectly balanced and each jostling to shine through, it is a complex whisky that unlocks a different dimension with every sip. As one door closes, another one opens up in this constantly evolving whisky.

The Lakes Distillery have kindly sent me a sample of their new dram to try (Thanks Lakes Distillery!)
So, what did I think? Here are my tasting notes …
Tasting Notes – The Whiskymaker’s Editions ‘Infinity’ (52%)
|
Nose: Heady shades of lemon citrus and orange with sugary cane syrup, banoffee pie and creamy chocolate.
Palate: Creamy, sherried notes with luscious toffee, chocolate and a little citrus. Finish: Smooth with a lovely punchy, slightly dry, peppery finish. Overall: This is a super dram and really recommended – possibly one of the best Lakes Distillery expressions I’ve ever tasted! Great flavours abound and the ABV, though high, is not harsh at all. I’d say this is certainly a dram to take you to infinity – and maybe even beyond! |
