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.
