About The Lakes

The Lakes Distillery, founded in 2011 in Cumbria, England, produces single malt whisky, gin, and vodka. Known for its sherry-influenced whisky style, the distillery focuses on complex, flavourful expressions crafted near the Lake District National Park.

Every whisky begins with the same basic ingredients and process, but each distillery brings its own distinct approach. For an unpeated style, The Lakes Distillery uses malted barley dried without smoke. Pure heated water from the Lake District National Park is added to break down the grain and release the sugars. By slowing the mashing process and recirculating the water more extensively, they create a clearer wort—resulting in a spirit that’s notably fruitier in character.

"To prosper we cannot play safe. We must be willing to take risks and challenge convention."
