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. Matured in a range of sherry butts, including rare Palo Cortado seasoned American oak casks, it is the art of blending, carefully layering complimentary and contrasting flavours, and balancing aromas that makes it possible for Infinity to appear in a state of constant dance between nose and palate. It is complex and enigmatic. Each sip encourages you to go deeper into the rabbit hole of flavours. It offers the opportunity to explore infinite combinations that make it difficult to define where they come from and where they lead. Dhavall Gandhi, whiskymaker at The Lakes Distillery said: “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.”
