The Whiskymaker's Editions
Odyssey
The Whiskymaker’s Editions is a series of one-off releases showcasing the sense of adventure of our whiskymaker.
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.
Taking you on a voyage of discovery through different styles of whiskymaking, The Whiskymaker’s Editions Odyssey is the second of two exclusive limited-edition single malt whiskies from The Lakes Distillery, in partnership with Selfridges.
Odyssey explores the complexity of the whisky journey. Faced with the challenge of bringing unexpected elements together through blending, components traditionally thought of as difficult to combine were treated as pieces in a puzzle.
Rich, rustic and dark, Odyssey is designed and shaped until its journey’s end where forest fruits sit on a sherry core, with European oak leading the way.
SOLD OUT EXCLUSIVELY FROM SELFRIDGES
Our Philosophy
Recounting a tale of exploration through an oak-led maturation philosophy, Revelation reveals how it is possible to create a medley of tropical fruit notes through maturation and cask expertise.
