The Lakes Distillery's Whiskymaker's Editions - Resfeber captures the thrill of impending adventure in every dram. This English single malt, part of a daring series of one-off releases, embodies the whiskymaker's bold experimentation beyond the distillery's classic sherry style.

A Name with Wanderlust

Resfeber evokes the restless heartbeat of a traveller just before departure, blending Swedish wanderlust with Cumbrian craftsmanship. Released initially as a UK distillery exclusive in February 2023, it draws from cream sherry casks for creamy depth and red wine barriques for tart vibrancy.

Cask Adventure

The whiskymaker ventures into under-explored sherry territory, marrying sherry-seasoned oak's richness with barrique's sharp fruitiness. This non-chill filtered, naturally coloured spirit clocks in at 46.6% ABV, bottled as a limited playground of instinct and inspiration.

Sensory Journey

On the nose, imagine jazz apples coated in sticky toffee treacle, laced with baking spices and dried apricots. The palate bursts with maraschino cherries, toffee sweetness, rose petal jam, and subtle summer pudding hints, finishing warmly creamy yet bright.

Perfect Serve

Try it in the "Aliyah the Wanderer" cocktail: shake 50ml Resfeber with 10ml Velvet Falernum and 10ml Cointreau over ice, strain into a tumbler, and garnish with fresh fig for a spicy, citrusy digestif twist.

Recent Developments

In April 2026, under Nyetimber's ownership, The Lakes Distillery streamlined operations by closing its visitor centre, bistro, shop and stopped tours to sharpen focus on premium single malt production.
