Review: The Lakes Single Malt Whisky - Galáxia

Rich, indulgent and seductively perfumed.


Situated along the serene Bassenthwaite Lake in Cumbria, The Lakes Distillery stands as a beacon of top-tier whisky craftsmanship in England. Founded in 2011, this distillery was born from a deep-rooted desire to mirror the stunning beauty and storied history of its surroundings through the art of whisky making. The unveiling of the Galaxia Single Malt Whisky is a pivotal moment, marking the culmination of the esteemed Whiskymaker's Editions series led by the renowned Dhavall Gandhi.

This series epitomizes the distillery's forward-thinking approach to whisky maturation, with Galaxia blending European and American oak casks seasoned with bourbon, red and white wine, Calvados, and various sherry types.

What Lakes is usually known for.

Galaxia, boasting a robust 54% ABV and undergoing no chill-filtration, captures the essence of its predecessors with a complex flavor profile and rich, natural hue. It not only pays homage to Dhavall Gandhi's groundbreaking work but also celebrates the distillery's ongoing quest to push the boundaries of whisky production.

The meticulous crafting of Galaxia underscores the distillery's unwavering dedication to upholding traditional methods while embracing opportunities for innovation and growth.
