The Lakes Distillery- Sealing Deals With Drams
There are not
many opportunities to own a piece of history. For whisky enthusiasts, a new
distillery is a rare opportunity, and to own a sample of one of the first
distilling's even rarer.
Within the
business world, staying at the front of a client's mind is vital. Corporate
gifting has become a modern day courtship, offering businesses the chance to
impress and show clients, business partners and employees they are appreciated
in a genuine and thoughtful way. With this in mind, Lakes Distillery is
offering a 'once-in-a-lifetime' gift, ideal for those who wish to astound.
A dram of the finest single malt whisky is
the ideal way to seal the deal. Now imagine the dram was poured from your very
own branded cask containing one of the first distillings from England's largest
whisky distillery, a gift from a loyal customer or supplier.
A very select
group of just 60 whisky enthusiasts in the world have the unique opportunity to
write their name in history. The Lakes Distillery in Cumbria will produce 60
very special Connoisseurs' Club oak sherry casks, filled with The Lakes single
malt and exclusively owned by club members.
These will be
available for private or corporate ownership, but once all 60 memberships have
been reserved, there will be no more. But this is not simply about owning a
cask of the finest whisky, this is the unique opportunity to be part of the
distillery's family and follow the malt as it matures over the years.
Members and
two guests are invited to be present on that first historic day to experience
making the whisky themselves, fill their own Connoisseur's Cask and see it
stored in the distillery warehouse as it matures to become our single malt.
Each Connoisseurs' Cask will be inscribed with their name, etching their place
into the history of The Lakes Distillery. Members decide when to bottle the
exclusive whisky, either bottling the malt all at once, or spreading the
bottlings over 10 years as it matures.
No other
editions of the Lakes single malt will be produced in rare oak sherry casks,
made especially for Connoisseurs' Club members resulting in a unique tasting
malt, not available for general retail.
In addition
to the unique signature Connoisseurs' Cask, members and two guests will enjoy
invitations to an exclusive range of events at the distillery, including an
annual Connoisseurs' Dinner, for themselves and two guests.
The dinner
will take place in the distillery's exclusive Board Room area where interior
designers Abercrombies of Jesmond, Newcastle, have created a boutique and
stylish dining area where the maturing whisky can be viewed. Dinners will be
hosted by The Lakes Distillery's founder and managing director, Paul Currie,
and its head still man. Overnight accommodation at the nearby 4-star Trout
Hotel will also be provided.
To help
preserve the experience, Connoisseurs' members will also be treated to a gift
of a commemorative limited edition print, taken from a specially commissioned
painting of The Lakes Distillery by celebrated Carne Griffiths, who creates art
using tea and alcohol.
The
Connoisseurs' Club limited membership costs £12,000 which includes your unique
signature cask, exclusive annual events including accommodation at the nearby
4-star Trout Hotel in Cockermouth, delivery, all duty and VAT.
It's
estimated that if kept, the cask will be worth over £20,000 making it a perfect
investment for both the head and heart.
