The Lakes Whiskymaker’s Reserve No 1 | 70cl/60.6%

We track every bottle of whisky sold through the MLDQ Store and Maltdaq platform - the number shown is the quantity of bottles sold of this whisky since its release date.

Delivery is free for all bottles sent to UK addresses.

We appreciate that couriers sometimes make mistakes and loss or damage can happen in a very small number of cases - in order to protect you from this we insure every parcel for loss or damage on your behalf at no extra cost.

MLDQ is a shop but it has a slightly different way of sourcing the whiskies that we sell. We are the sister site to maltdaq.com, which is a live exchange for new release whiskies (a bit like a stock market). This means that you are buying a bottle from a Maltdaq member (based in the UK) and we need a few days more to get it from them before verifying it, re-packing and sending it on to you.

We organise all that in the background so you can sit back and look forward to your special bottle arriving in about 4-7 working days.

Please note that we do not currently ship whiskies to locations outside the UK.

We have vast experience of packing hundreds of different types of whisky to ensure that they reach you in perfect condition.

Robust and sturdy outer packaging is essential to withstand the rough and tumble of a courier journey but equally valuable is the cushioned inner packaging that prevents vibration and friction.

We carefully assess each bottle and customise our approach according to needs - different cushioning, different wrapping and different boxes are all used to protect a fragile bottle but also any gift packaging.

We appreciate just how important it is to receive your whisky in perfect condition to maintain its collectability and potential resale value.
