Close to Bassenthwaite Lake, in an area of unimaginable beauty encircled by Cumbrian fells, is the perfect home for The Lakes Distillery. With ideal water from the famous River Derwent, with its source high up in the fells, a team steeped in distilling experience, and perfect conditions for creating outstanding spirits. Juniper can be found across the fells in The Lakes District, this local juniper is used as the very heart of this superb gin. Using classic gin botanicals augmented with others native to The Lakes - including bilberry, heather and meadowsweet - this is an artisan gin which is complex, intriguing and delicious.
Tasting Notes

Fresh and Fruity with vibrant notes of juniper, orange peel and lemon citrus.
A Word About
The Lakes Distillery
The Lakes Distillery opened in December 2014 on its idyllic rural site near Bassenthwaite lake, with a Visitor Centre, artisan bar and bistro. At the distillery you can find out how the Lakes Malt, Lakes Gin and Lakes Vodka are produced, and have a tour of the site including the still room and the distillery’s warehouse where the whisky matures.
