About Lakes

Lakes is a whisky distillery. Lakes Distillery The Whiskymaker’s Editions Kairos is a no-age-statement bottling.

What drives this bottle's value

Lakes Distillery The Whiskymaker’s Editions Kairos is a standard release without strong scarcity signals such as a single vintage, a long age statement, a single-cask outturn or a limited edition.
