Following a £9m investment and three years in development, The Lakes Distillery opened in December 2014 in The Lake District National Park (now a UNESCO World Heritage Site) with the vision of producing world class spirits that will be globally recognised and respected.

Since then, the Distillery has become one of Cumbria’s leading award-winning tourist attractions.

Housed in a beautifully renovated 1850s Victorian model farm, The Lakes Distillery offers an interactive tour which includes a tasting of their award-winning spirits.

The distillery crafts a portfolio of world-class spirits including the Lakes Gin, Lakes Vodka and a range of whiskies, all of which showcase the spirit of Cumbria.

The Lakes Gin range offers an exceptionally smooth, classic juniper-led spirit that are beautiful neat on ice or with a premium tonic.

The essence of The Lakes Distillery brand is one of beauty, honesty and a heartfelt sense of place. Their highly experienced team, experts in their field, are passionate about producing the best quality spirits and customer experiences.

​In 2024 The Distillery was acquired by the Nyetimber Group, a leading English sparkling wine producer. This £71 million deal brings together two esteemed British brands, combining their expertise in craftsmanship and innovation.

The acquisition marks a significant step in The Lakes Distillery’s ambition to expand its presence in the global luxury spirits market. ​
