About Lakes Distillery Gin

Lakes Distillery Gin comes from an award-winning distillery and visitor attraction on the northern shore of Bassenthwaite Lake in England's Lake District. For the newcomer, the broad range of gin and gin liqueur is an accessible entry into British gin with a wide spread of botanicals; for the curious, the location itself is fascinating - the distillery is built in a 160-year-old farmstead and offers tours and tastings, where the majestic surroundings near Keswick have directly shaped the house's artistic approach to spirits production.

History & Background

The Lakes Distillery was established in a 160-year-old farmstead on the banks of the River Derwent, near Bassenthwaite Lake in England's northern Lake District, with the ambition of combining spirits production with a visitor experience for tourists in the region. The distillery practices what it calls holistic spirits production, where the whisky maker follows the whole process through every stage of the distillery, an approach that also shapes the house's gin and vodka production. Since opening, The Lakes Distillery has won several awards and established itself as one of the more well-known modern distilleries in England's Lake District.
