We are delighted to announce the launch of 'Boundless', our first single malt designed exclusively from the Global Travel Retail market.
Where Boundless sets itself apart is that, for the first time, we have handpicked only the finest first-fill Oloroso casks to guide our whisky's maturation. While classically influenced by a variety of sherry-seasoned casks, with Boundless we remained steadfast in our devotion to Oloroso - the backbone of The Lakes Single Malt.
Our Whiskymaker, Sarah Burgess commented, "Using the élevage technique, we have elevated the whisky's flavour profile. Combining European and American oak, we have created a complex and bold single malt that encourages exploration and wonder."
"With nuances of orange oil and dried fruits from European oak, layered with delicate wood spice, toasted oak, and subtle notes of vanilla from the American oak, Boundless represents our ambition to push boundaries. And we are thrilled to bring this special whisky to the travel retail market"
Boundless is available exclusively in the UK, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa Global Travel Retail from Duty Free Global. A testament to Duty Free Global's dedication to innovation and modern craftsmanship, Boundless reflects their commitment to quality and to provide travellers with extraordinary new flavour experiences.
Barry Geoghegan, founder of Duty Free Global, said, "As a leading new world whisky-maker, The Lakes breaks free from the traditional whisky conventions. With Boundless, they have created a single malt with exceptional depth. An innovation to explore a new frontier of flavour, the result is a style of whisky that is rich and opulent, which we're confident our operators and consumers will love at TFWA Cannes."
Boundless is also available in the Caribbean, Latin America, and USA Duty Free through our partnership with MONARQ group. Having swiftly earned a reputation for bold, complex, and multi-layered single malt whiskies, Boundless Lakes Single Malt is an ideal match for MONARQ Group's mission to bring innovative and exciting new concepts to its market.
MONARQ's managing director, Robert de Monchy, said: "We have seen a lot of interest from consumers exploring beyond traditional Single Malts. 'New World Whisky' has quickly become a category of itself, and The Lakes Distillery has shown impressive performance for a relatively new and innovative producer.
"As a clear testament to their commitment to quality, The Whiskymaker's Reserve No.4 was awarded 'Worlds Best Single Malt' in 2022 at the World Whiskies Awards, so for us, it is a perfect compliment to our expanding international single malt portfolio, and we look forward to the release of Boundless"
