Cumbria is home to the Lakes District and, consequently, the Lakes Distillery. It was founded in 2011 by Paul Currie, who you may know as one of the co-founders of the Isle of Arran Distillery. You'll find the distillery in a Lake District national park within a painstakingly renovated 160-year-old farmstead on the banks of the River Derwent. Because of said location, they can’t construct any additional buildings, so they have a very impressive distillery-in-a-room set-up to distil their spirits.

Awards for The Lakes Gin

Originally launched in 2014, The Lakes Gin has become a well-established player in the category. Now over five years old, the distillery has given its flagship gin some love, amending the recipe and giving the brand a major facelift. The result is hugely positive. Read my review to find out!
