The project is the brain-child of Pete Currie, son of Harold Currie, Founder of Arran Distillery. A small distillery, they can produce about 240,000 litres a year.
The Whiskymaker’s Editions is a series of one-off releases showcasing the sense of adventure of the whiskymakers. Each Edition is an exceptional diversion from The Lakes sherry-led house style - an expression of creative freedom, the product of a playground where instinct, experience and inspiration roam free.
Inspired by the last lingering twilight between a vibrant summer and the promise of a crisp, amber autumn morning, The Lakes Equinox is a celebration of balance, change and reflection. Revealing the often missed beauty that unites more noticeable states, rich and vibrant flavours shine harmoniously in an elegant symphony of floral notes, fruit and an enduring spice.
As light and golden as a sunset, Equinox’s bright taste of fresh apricots and orange blossoms are a fragrant toast to the summer. Flavours of a warm apple turnover, orchard fruits and sweet spices welcome the autumn to come.
Official Tasting Notes
Aroma - Apple turnover, fresh apricots, baking spices along with a fragrant note of sandalwood.
Palate - An intense medley of orchard fruits, floral orange blossom and sweet spices.
Finish - A rich and vibrant finish with lingering spices.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
