The Lakes Distillery

Nestled on the bank of the River Derwent among the breathtaking valleys and fells of the Lake District, we design opulent whisky, rich with layers of flavour and complexity. Built meticulously in a 160-year-old farm on the banks for the River Derwent, our award-winning distillery offers visitors 'behind the scenes' tours of our state-of-the-art distillery and tastings of our collection of spirits. The first English distillery to win the coveted title “World’s Best Single Malt Whisky” at the World Whiskies Awards, our modern approach places flavour creation at the heart of everything we do. From sacrificing efficiency in return for a spirit that delivers a distinctive long buttercream mouthfeel, The Lakes Distillery prides itself on pushing boundaries and challenging traditional conventions.
