Single Malt English Whisky Distillery Bottling 70cl / 52%
The Lakes distillery's Whiskymaker's Reserve No. 5 has big shoes to fill, following on from its predecessor'sstunning win at the World Whisky Awards 2022, where Lakes Whiskymaker's Reserve No. 4 was crowned World's Best Single Malt Whisky, beating off competition from Glenmorangie and Kavalan among others.
The good news is that the formula for Whiskymaker's Reserve No.5 is much the same as the previous iteration. Staying true to the distillery's commitment to sherry cask maturation, Whiskymaker's Reserve No.5 has been bottled at 52% after maturation in Pedro Ximenez, Oloroso and red wine casks of Spanish and American oak.

I acquired mine after someone had poured it away, and used the empty as a candle holder. Despite imbibing this Glenrothes from a drain, it was decent. 57.1% seemed to remove any of the drain ickiness. It has also somewhat dulled the pain I'm still in from recently trapping my, ahem, in my zipper.
Since my daughter lives in Yorkshire I had to try this especially when I saw the peat finish. Its a promising young whisky but I would have preferred a more definite peat finish similar to the one on offer from the Glasgow Distilliery
