The Lakes Distillery

The Lakes Distillery A design-led whiskymaker, we push boundaries in pursuit of flavour creation.

When we opened our iconic gates for the first time, we had a clear vision to create a global luxury single malt whisky, alongside one of the most unique visitor experiences in The Lake District. Fast-forward five years and, inspired by nature, we've welcomed over 500,000 visitors to the distillery for guided tours and to dine at our Bistro. We've also been honoured with a number of highly acclaime

d awards and created a range of fine whiskies, gin and vodka:

The Lakes Single Malt, The Whiskymaker's Reserve is an artistic exploration of maturation and blending; of flavour evolution and defining a sherry-led house style for The Lakes Single Malt. Singular by name and nature, The One collection showcases our Whiskymaker's maturation expertise and the role cask seasoning in flavour elevation. Released as unique blends, the final selections are allowed to marry together in our bespoke casks before bottling, with each new expression demonstrating the different flavours derived from the oak casks. The Lakes Gin and The Lakes Vodka are gently distilled with the luxury of time for exceptional smoothness. Simply beautiful, they are accompanied by a number of very popular gin and vodka liqueurs.

The Lakes Velocity - a premium, limited-edition whisky of which just 583 bottles were ever made. A single malt of exceptional character, crafted through the art of élevage. 
 
Through a series of rare and irreplaceable Oloroso casks, this single malt has been shaped through texture, balance, and the careful layering of flavour, it reveals a style of single malt that belies its age: deeply perfumed and richly textured. This is élevage in motion: a journey shaped by decisions, not just time.

Some conversations deserve a little indulgence. 🥃

A fine dram, good company, and the kind of stories that get better with every sip. Rich, playful, and just a touch mischievous - exactly as the evening should be.

The finest whisky isn’t just savoured… it’s shared.

Unlock long-forgotten adventures with The Whiskymaker's Edition Nostalgia; a sensory trip down memory lane.

Cherry blossom. Pear drops. Soft vanilla.

Matured in an elegant fusion of Oloroso sherry and bourbon casks, each sip reveals orchard pears, plums, and lingering notes of butterscotch, chocolate, and cherry.

A rose-tinted taste of time well savoured. 🥃

Whisky has a way of bringing people together. 🥃

What starts as a shared curiosity about flavour often turns into conversation, laughter, and new friendships. Whisky creates a space where enthusiasts - new and seasoned alike - can connect through a shared passion.

Because for us, it’s not just about the whisky…it’s also about the community.
